We went to our follow up visit w/ our OB doctor today. We had a non-stress test (NST), cervical length ultrasound & a doctor visit. It was an hour & a half...but so worth it. We received nothing but good news :-) Yeah!!!! We also brought a grandma with us to see the baby....Grandma Helgerson (Nate's Mom) got to join us today & it was nice to have her be there for us & Jordan.
The NST was a bit difficult...Jordan wouldn't stop moving around & it was hard for the CNAs to find her heartbeat. She finally sat still long enough for us to get a good reading. Her heart sounded like she was racing in a horse race. We are not having any contractions & her heartbeat is perfect.
Our ultrasound was also successful...we are now measuring at 3.5 for our cervical length. The bed rest is obviously working so the doctor wants to keep me on it & take care of myself & the baby. Jordan wasn't very cooperative though so we didn't get any good pictures of her. She was hiding out in my hips & was not showing her face today. She wants to be a surprise for Grandma. Haha. I'm sure there will plenty more opportunities to see Jordan :-)
Our doctor visit went well too...We were scheduled to see Dr. Holbrook, but she got called out to deliver a baby. Those babies don't have a schedule...they just show up. Haha. Today we saw Dr. Jurgens instead...he's a very nice man & loves to tell stories. He is satisfied with the progress since the hospital stay & will discuss what the next step will be with Dr. Holbrook.
As for now bed rest is in order. I am able to lounge, but not add any pressure to my cervix by sitting or standing. Whatever is best for the baby we will do. This is our preparation for being good parents :-) Thank you everyone for your love & support. All the prayers were obviously helpful & keep up the prayers.
Love xoxoxo,
The Helgerson's
