Baby P Update - From Dad

Ok, it's been a stressful couple of days. Thankfully things have calmed down, so I have time to decompress and give out some details.

Yesterday we went to a scheduled Ultra-sound hoping to get some good 3D pics of Baby P. During the ultrasound they checked her cervix to make sure that everything was OK. Well, the Dr. said that her cervix is now 7MM thick, rather than the 30MM thick it was 3 weeks ago. Also, her cervical stitch had pulled through and was no longer doing it's job. So, we were told we had to immediately leave and head to the hospital where she was going to have to stay for the duration off the pregnancy. The concern is that they don't know how quickly her cervix has made this change. So, there was concern that the baby could be coming very soon.

We checked into the hospital into a Labor and Delivery room and they monitored the baby and her and come to find out she was having a couple of contractions. So, they are giving her medicine to stop the contractions. They also gave her first of 2 shots of steroids to help speed up the baby's lung development, just in case.

Deb came over and was able to stay with Holly while I went to get some essentials for us to stay in the hospital...things like our laptops and toothbrushs. Holly didn't have a very good sleep last night, but they were waking her up every couple of hours to do a non-stress test and see if she was having contractions. Plus the meds could possibly have had something to do with the lack of sleep as well...

This morning she has already had her breakfast, and is now already working on her laptop. Things have thankfully calmed down quite a bit, now the big stress is coming up with a name that we both like!!

On a lighter note, we did get some great ultrasound pics of Baby P, and she looks just like Adam with a Pinsonneault nose!
