So we have made it to 23 weeks! My appointment today went well. My cervix is measuring around 3.2 to 3.3 cm the last two weeks. Dr. Argeles says that he doesn't really think it is changing. He is happy if it stays over 3 cm. He says it is still firm and closed, so that is good! He always says, "So, do you have anything you want to talk about?" And I say, "Do you wanna talk about all of these contractions I am having again?" And now he jokingly says, "No". I say he is joking, but he is probably serious! He has been really patient with me... I know he can't wait until I have this baby either :)
Tomorrow I have got to try to buy a little something in the way of maternity wear. I tried to put on my pre-pregnancy jeans the other day... wish I would have taken a picture of that! That was worth a good 10 minutes of laughing on my part :) I really would like to have some dresses so I can stay cool. Some people have lent me maternity wear, but it is always small. Some of the small stuff won't even come past my thighs at this point, so I am pretty sure I am a medium or large!
So, we will plug on again through this week, counting down to a completed 24 weeks... I can't believe it! We are gonna make it! Hope I can stay sane til then :)
I heard a good message on the radio this morning that was talking about how as Christians we are never guaranteed a life without struggle or difficulty. It was a good message for me right now and something I needed to hear. I still smile when that happens because so often I hear a message that is exactly what I need to hear and it's usually blunt about it. It was a good message.
