28 Week Update

I went in for my 28 week appointment today and am happy to report that not much has changed so I just need to continue to take it easy for awhile yet. My cervix is a little more thinned than it was two weeks ago, but I'm not dilated. So hopefully that means the bedrest is working. Or who knows, maybe I won't have any issues this time and will make it to 40 weeks:). 38 would be perfect:). Today was exactly how far along I was when I went on bedrest with Layla--at that point I was dilated to I think 1 1/2 and like 70% effaced. I go back in two weeks for my 30 week appointment and at that point he'll probably give me the betamethazone shot for the baby's lungs. Hopefully if I continue to take it easy the next couple of weeks the next appointment will also show little or no cervical change. I continue to have some contractions, but definitely not all the time like I had with Layla (with her they were pretty consistently 2-4 mins apart at 28 weeks). I can tell they increase with the more activity I do--so I guess that shows it's good to "listen to my body":). Oh, and his heartbeat was 148.
