Shortening

My appointment today was okay overall.  My cervix has shortened a bit.  It has gone from around 3.2 cm to 2.6 cm.  Not a huge change but enough to make me sweat it a little bit.  Dr. S didn't seem too concerned.  What really concerned me was his excitement about me making it to 24 weeks.  He kept asking me if I was excited and telling me I'm almost there.  I hope his excitement is only about the big milestone and not because he is thinking Sawyer will be making an appearance soon. I really don't want Sawyer to come for a long time.  I want him to be very healthy and able to come home right away! 
I have a little bit of concern about the ultrasounds too.  Today, before my appt. I felt great.  No contractions, no headaches.  Then about 15 minutes after the ultrasound I felt the contractions start.  So I am gearing up for another headache today but hopefully the contractions stop. 
I will go back next Tuesday for another ultrasound and then again on Friday. After that he may change it so that I only see him once a week.  I also did my first progesterone injection last night.  It is the same type of thing I had to do when I did IVF so it's nothing new and it's only once a week so I am sure we can handle it.  I just hope it helps.  There is not any real proof that it does but it's worth a shot!

Well I think I know Dr. S pretty well and I dont think he would get you excited and worked up if he didnt think the outcome was good. I know there are unknowns to him but I think as far as he is concerned, things are great. Love ya Sis, try to relax (I know its easier said then done). Love you
