Partial Bedrest

So my appointment didn't go quite as well as I was hoping. My cervix is just starting to thin--I'm not dilated, but he called it a fingertip cervix?? All the medical talk is really quite confusing to me:-). He said that in some cases at 25/26 weeks this could be normal for a second pregnancy, but due to the fact that I'm having some contractions and since I went into preterm labor last time, he doesn't want to take any chances. I don't either! Whatever I can do to keep RV safe and whatever I can do to prevent/postpone strict bedrest will be worth it! I pretty much just need to sit/lay whenever possible. I told him that my grandma will be passing away sometime in the next few(ish)days and he said that I can go to visitation/funeral if I'm sitting the whole time, but if I get uncomfortable/have more contractions, I'll need to leave. I'm sure grandma would understand:-). I go back again next Tuesday to see if anything has changed. Hopefully not! Next Tuesday I'll also have some more tests and stuff done--coming up he'll do that culture test again and I think some other test that can maybe tell you if you'll be going into labor in the next few weeks and the shot to help the baby's lung development--I think that might have been the appointment after next week--that only helps the baby's lungs if it's been in you for at least 48 hours, but no more than like 4 weeks I think. Part of me is a little overwhelmed to start thinking about how everything will work this time with taking care of Layla and such, but I know it's all in God's control and I don't need to worry about it. Hopefully RV can be in me for many more weeks. He said that even if we could make it to 33/34 weeks this time that'd be a big accomplishment. I'm happy to have made it to 25 weeks and 2 days, but many more days would give RV a much better chance at survival/being healthy! I'll now do as much relaxing as possible so that there will hopefully be no more change with my cervix next Tuesday--although I fully understand that it's not all up to me! Please just pray that my cervix stays the same for a long time so that RV can be in me for many more weeks!! Oh, and I had my gluclose test today but they won't have results on that until tomorrow, so hopefully I passed that and don't need to retake that test!
