Almost Over!

Well, I have been on partial bed rest now for 4 weeks (tomorrow). At 33 weeks I went to the doc and had an ultrasound. Elin was weighing in at 4 3/4 pounds, so I am sure she is at 5 lbs by now. I am dilated to a 2, and things seem to be staying the same. I still get the contractions, but not nearly like they were when this all began. I was told that if I should go into labor now, they wouldn't stop it. He will take me off the Nifedipine at 36 weeks. Everything seems to be going well, and I am glad I was able to hold off 4 weeks. Next Wed I can go off my meds- but Dave will be out of town that weekend so I will wait a few days more until he gets back. (He was in a bit of trouble for asking me to hold off!) What an inconvenience this has been! Oh well- it is almost over. School is now out, and I am so lucky to have Dave home for the summer. And best of all, I have found a great way to lay on my stomach out by the pool without actually getting in the water! I may be getting bigger every day, but at least I will be tan!!!!
