This past week has been full of Doctor's appointments.
Last Wednesday, we went to see my regular OB and then went to Emory to see my Maternal-Fetal Specialist. No big news at the specialist appointment. Basically just said that my regular OBs are doing everything that he would do and to continue on as planned with the bed rest, weekly injections, and to maybe consider another dose of steroids for his lungs a little later.
Soooo....I went back to my OB today for another ultrasound and appointment.
AND....drum roll please....my cervix has thickened in the past week!!
It is still too short, but went from 1.8 with a lot of funneling to 2.4 with some funneling!
I was talking to the nurse and told her that I didn't know if it was the weekly miracle shots, bed rest or divine intervention. And she told me that we must have some serious prayers going up for this little guy, because she has NEVER seen the injections work like this.
So, there we have it....Divine Intervention.
We decided on the name "Bennett" when we found out it meant Little Blessed One. Wow, he continues to live up to his name...he is definitely blessed. We are definitely blessed.
Thank you, God, for our little blessing.
As if the first miracle of creating him wasn't enough...then the second miracle of not losing him very early wasn't enough....Now, we have miracle number three....He is still in my belly, instead of fighting for his life...and hopefully there to stay for a lot longer.
So, here is where I say thank you to every single person that has prayed for us. God is faithful and is answering our prayers....I am absolutely amazed by His goodness.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers as I know we still have a loooong road ahead. But for tonight, I am thankful....very....very...thankful. :)
