Pre-bedrest doing what I do best: eating mint chocolate chip ice cream cones!


Sweet boy

I've been meaning to post this for a few days but still don't have my loaner laptop (thanks Serena!) hooked up to the internet. So I can only check e-mail etc. while I'm eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner upstairs at the computer desk! (fun!) I saw my OB Wednesday for another check and to get test results and luckily all was well. All of the blood tests came back negative for infection and she also did a fetal fibronectin (fFN) test which was negative. That test is done after week 22 of pregnancy to see if there is a certain protein present (fetal fibronectin) that shouldn't be. The presence of the protein means that there may be increased risk of premature delivery, but not always. So you definitely want a negative result.... but a positive one doesn't necessarily mean anything according to my doctor. She also said I am able to keep tutoring as long as I do it at my house (no running around town). That was great news, it has really helped me stay sane! :) So bedrest stinks but it could definitely be worse. I have wonderful family and friends who are taking turns coming to watch Jaxson during the week. Thanks everyone!!! I am now 24 weeks 2 days along and shooting for 36 weeks when the cerclage comes out and I assume I can come off bedrest! That day is December 11th... it can't come soon enough!!! Thank you soooo much everyone for the phone calls, thoughts, and prayers! We want baby Glowacki #2 well done this time! :)
