Dear Heidi, I'm Okay :)

So here are our current stats:

Weeks along in the pregnancy: 30
Weeks on bedrest: 8
The progress: 2cm dilated, 50% effaced (sorry if that's TMI)
Frequency of contractions: anywhere between 4 & 9 per hour
His approximate weight: 3 lbs
His position: his booty's all up in my ribs & his head is down
New fun things: he gets the hiccups!
Possible d-day: could be anywhere between 1 & 4 weeks from now
Feeling: positive! :)
His name: wouldn't you like to know?!

Big things coming up:

Our next Fetal Fibronectin test is on Thursday (the 15th), which will give us a clearer picture about when we might (or I should say, might not) deliver.

I'll be getting steroid shots next week to help develop the baby's lungs (I joke that he'll be able to rip off his onesie like the incredible hulk... Don't worry, I know it's not that kind of steroid). :)

I have some baby shower photos... just need to get around to posting them! We have been so loved on by all of our amazing friends and family!

it's crazy how different our pregnancies are. i'm 41 weeks and 2 days and have never felt a contraction--couldn't tell you what one feels like! AND i'm not dilated or ripened or effaced AT ALL. i'm almost jealous of your situation. at least your body is cooperating and preparing for delivery. i'm just frustrated with my anatomy. :)
i'm so happy for you guys and continue to pray for a healthy pregnancy.
