@memph- WOW GIRL! Time is flying! So happy for you

On day 10 of progesterone so hopefully I'll get AF in about a week. Been a crazy day. My sister was having chest pains so I took her and my nephew up to the hospital. While they checked her out, I stayed with my nephew in the waiting room for a few hours. He did surprising well :). My mom came up after noon to be with my sister while I took my nephew back home for a nap. Finally they released her. She came in smiling and said that I was right...I guessed esophageal spasm and that's exactly what she had LOL. So all is good :) but it had my adrenaline pumping taking her to the ER.

Hope everyone is good! Athena...I so badly want to drive to Tennessee and see you and Eli :) :) :) :)

Congrats Athena!! Yay! And memphrika is up next, awesome! It'll be here before you know it! I know it prob doesn't feel that way, trust me! It will fly! So glad everyone is doing well! ��

Ugh. So preterm labor last night at 34 weeks 3 days. My ticker in my signature is off by a couple days for whatever reason. Whatever. Anyway, I had bloody show last night I think. I had some (tmi) bright pink and brown spotting that had me worried about placental abruption. I checked myself and I was 1 cm dialated so I went right to the hospital. Contractions were 8 minutes apart but not strong. They gave me a shot of trebuteline (sp?) To stop the contractions, which worked. We are trying to hold him in at least another 2 weeks. :)

I have a question tho. When I checked my cervix last night it was soft which is fine. But there was this almost crunchy like ring in the center. Is this normal? Does anyone know what that is?

Stay in that oven a little longer lil boy!
The inner surface of the cervix is normally rough and shaggy at that point (according to a medical book)

@kristi- how are you and the kiddos doing hun!?

Memphrika~ Could be the mucus plug.... I know sounds gross but had no clue about it until I was pregnant. I'm glad the contractions stopped!!!

Thanks Tara. I was confused. It didn't feel like that a week ago!

I feel crazy too...Im in my two week wait and keep looking at my boobs in the mirror to see if the blue veins get anymore pronounced ...I think Im in and then I think Im out ...so frustrating!! Good luck to you!

Glad those contractions stopped memphrika! Prayers to you to keep that pumpkin in a little longer!

Tara- the babes are great! 4 months old now! Little man is 12.8lbs and addy is 13.7
They are so amazing! This weekend we are attempting to sleep train them. Yikes!!! Right now I am co sleeping since hubby works third shift and I am by myself plus nursing so it's been easier to have them next to me but it's time for them to be in their own cribs!
Hope all is well with the rest of you ladies! I try to keep following but it's hard to find the time to read up on everyone!!

Woohoo! Today is cd1! The progesterone cream i bought kickstarted my cycle like I hoped :)! So today I start my soy isoflavones! Praying for great and timely ovulation! Please say a prayer that this works ladies!

Good Luck Tara! FX for you!
