Doctor appt went well today. She said she will keep me on both the progesterone and procardia until I hit 36 weeks. I had an ultrasound for cervical length check, it was 2.4cm. So down 0.4 from last check 2 weeks ago, but its not at its shortest that I've had. I've had a lot more low pressure and contractions wrap around my back now. I asked the doctor how I'm supposed to differentiate since my normal is other women's active labor? She told me that if it is more painful or feels "different" to me. I'm still having contractions throughout the day, sometimes for 3 hours or more at a time. I'm glad to have made it this far but boy am I becoming uncomfortable. Only 3 1/2 more weeks till I hit 36! I see doctor again next week. Not sure if she will continue with cervical length checks and fetal fibronectin testing or not...
Job update: Heard back from my faculty interview, I didn't get it - but they did say "We were very impressed with you." and offered me an adjunct position. I told them that I'd take it beginning in the summer. So looks like I will teach another class or two. I'll gain experience that way which will help me in the future. I applied for the university faculty position but haven't heard anything yet. I also applied at an outpatient clinic that is really near our home. I have faith that God will place me where I need to be and everything will turn out ok.
I've been a little more grumpy than usual - I'm getting stir crazy being cooped up. I think the weather has something to do with it as well. Sure would be nice to be able to get outside for a little while! My MIL has been doing a lot of cleaning for me - but she drives me nuts because she takes an excessively long time to complete anything and doesn't do things like I would. I know - I sound like an ungrateful B)&$%. I truly do appreciate the help, but I'm over having someone in my space all day long. I can't wait until I can get up and do things without having immediate contractions as a result.
I think that we will have a new truck parked in our garage next week. Stephen found one that he is most likely going to purchase on Monday. At least we will now have 2 safe vehicles to transport the boys in. I drove my Taurus for 10 years and Stephen has had his truck for 12 now. It was definitely time for us to trade up.
I ordered Nathan some new clothes for spring, and Nolan a new outfit to come home from the hospital. Our neighbor has a boy 2 years older than Nathan and gave me a bunch of clothing last fall -which was such a blessing and saved me a lot of money. But there is nothing like picking out your own stuff for your children, it makes me happy :) I'm totally addicted to Gymboree.
