Wow, has it been a crazy couple of weeks. Great, productive weeks for the house...but a nervous, unpredictable week for the little guy.
We'll start with the house:
Framing is complete with the plywood and house wrap on! Roof framing started and completed. The shingles are on. Some interior detail framing started. So, now the slow parts start...

As for baby...
Monday, I went for my 20 week appointment and ultrasound. A couple of things have been bothering me lately...Mainly at work. My legs and feet have already started swelling (not to mention a lot of aches and pains) which I thought was too early at 19 weeks. I generally feel pretty terrible all the time. But I have been sucking it up...knowing that he will be worth it!!
When I went for my ultrasound, everything looked great with him...no problems. But they noticed that my cervix was thinner than last time...going from around 4 cm down to 2.8. This really bothered me at 20 weeks, but didn't seem to bother my doctor as long as I wasn't having any other issues. She just told me to call or come in if I felt any bit of tightness, heaviness, cramping, etc.
Soooo...I went to work on Wednesday and was pretty upset most of the day. I will admit I was nervous, but felt that something wasn't quite right. After my 12 o'clock rounds, I started having some pain in my lower abdomen that wouldn't go away when I sat down. I started thinking that I was being really paranoid. I even thought maybe it could just be in my head since I was so worried after Monday's appointment. But after about 30 minutes to an hour, it didn't go away...so I called my doctor. They called back and wanted me to come in.
When I went in my blood pressure was pretty high, and they did a repeat ultrasound...
The ultrasound showed about the same cervical length (yay), but that my cervix was starting to open up a little (what?!?!?). Ummmm....not good. So, the doctor reassured me that I did exactly what I should have done by calling and coming in...and... to plan on being out of work and in the bed as much as possible. I will admit....this is pretty scary to me. At 20 weeks, I don't want my cervix changing AT ALL.
All I can do now is rest, and pray that God will take care of us.
I have another ultrasound in a couple of weeks to see if anything has changed...
