29 Week Update - 10/14/98

Just a quick update to let you know how my dr. appt went today.   There have been some slight cervical changes.  I am now 1.5 cm dilated and 50% effaced (up from just 1cm and 0% effaced last week).  Despite the changes, the dr. is allowing me to go back to light activity.  I was really surprised, but, I must say pleasantly so as bedrest is NO FUN!  He just said that I need to be down more than up, but, I can get up and walk around the house, fix a snack for myself or the kids, or even make a quick run to Whataburger to pick up something for dinner!  LOL!  He also said that down does not necessarily mean laying down.  I get to sit up now!  Yahoo!  Never thought I'd be so excited about something so trivial, but, I just can't help myself!  I have been going stir crazy this past week!  :)  Of course, I still intend to rest ALOT, though, because I know that it is best for the babies and, in all honesty, I too need the extra rest at this stage of the game.  One more tidbit of good news...I only gained 1# this past two weeks and judging from how much my tummy has grown, I'm guessing that that pound went towards the babies' weights!  :)  Well, that is about all the news on this front, for now.
