Ultrasound on Thursday was promising! I improved from 2.7cm to 2.9cm cervical length. The rest seems to be doing the trick. Short term disability is approved to 2/1 as of right now. Next doctor appt is on 1/31, so we'll see what the plan is. I'm assuming that we'll continue with the fetal fibronectin tests alternating with cervical length checks just to be safe. Continuing with the progesterone shots weekly until week 36.
I spoke with my boss on Friday - she encouraged me to stay off of work if I can. Apparently caseload still hasn't picked up, and she said that according to our regional director, she gets to keep her full hours and I will only get the leftover caseload, whatever that may be. I expressed my concern with FMLA, etc. However, now I worry that if I do go back, that my status will be reduced and could possibly lose my benefits. I definitely wouldn't be surprised if they did do this to me - they don't seem to care about their employees at all. This company is horrible - I will definitely be leaving after the baby is born. A friend of mine encouraged me to pursue another rehab company in town - I previously had contact with one of the owners during a volunteer experience, so maybe they would remember me. I plan on updating my resume and sending out a letter to put my feelers out. Can't hurt right? Sometimes God sends opportunities our way that we didn't even know were there :)
Still no word on the gap exceptions from the insurance company, big surprise.... I'll probably email my case manager again this week to follow up.
On the home front - still struggling with the whole poop issue with Nathan. On Tuesday morning he woke up with poop in his pull-up, and yesterday he woke up during nap with the same issue. I sit him on the potty repeatedly when I see him do his "poop dance" but he chooses to hold it in - so I guess it has to make its way out sometime, and his body is choosing to do it in his sleep. UGH!!
