We are 22 weeks and 2 days today! In only 12 more days we will be 24 weeks! Once we get to that point and things still look wonderful, we will get a test done to look for Fetal Fibronectin. It is called and fFN test. If (and when) the test comes back negative, they say that you have a 99.5% chance of carrying the baby for the next two weeks. So if my cervix measures good and that test is negative we should definitely make 26 weeks. They say the test is good because it helps them to know if they need to give you steroids to help the baby's lungs. They were going to give it to me as a precaution at 24 weeks, but if the test is negative he feels confident not giving me the steroids. He said the steroids will compromise my immune system. And I surely don't need that after that horrible stomach bug I had at 18 weeks :)
So I am getting pretty sure that this baby will be be named Delilah Rae Currence. I am aware that everyone has different opinions about the name, but we like it! Greg just started calling her that and it seems to be sticking. I will probably call her Dee Dee though or Dee Dee Rae or Baby Dee :) I haven't talked to her too much lately, just been a little nervous to. It helps thinking of her with a name though. 12 more days!
