Save The Date, thanks to ALBERTO

March 26 is Zoey's scheduled c-section. But first, to bring some of you up-to-speed...

While in Mesa, AZ for work last week, I got a call from my OB saying that after reviewing report #2 from the high risk Dr, she's worried about my cervix thinning too quickly. It went from a 3.2 to a 2.6 in just 7 days. 2.5 usually means bed rest... she talked to me about the possibility of hospital bed rest in Nashville if things don't slow down. Luckily, yesterday I was a 2.5 but she just banned me from house work instead of bed rest, but I'm not out of the clear yet.

I had steroid shot #1 yesterday, in the hip (ouch!!!!) and was hooked up to a fetal monitor for about 30 minutes. Zoey is scoring 8/8 in health, so she is thriving... she's still measuring 4 days ahead in growth, too... so technically, my c-section is at 35 weeks, but according to her growth, she'll be right at 36. The vessel is massive, I've gotten a good look at it on the ultrasound and I feel like that thing needs a name. I'm calling it Alberto. After having Fat Albert ((a) since it's a girl) for a follie the month I got pregnant, I think Alberto is a good evil twin name. Alberta and Alberto... how sweet. Not.

So after having a rough time getting pregnant and a rare complication known as vasa previa, I don't think I'll be trying for a 2nd baby anytime soon. I thought I wanted them close together, but all this high risk stuff has me in the "fear fence" right now. I'm sure my next pregnancy will be nothing like this one, but just in case... I don't know if I can chance it in the near future. I hope that after Zoey's arrival, I can keep the PCOS under control with some birth control pills. Only time will tell...

In the meantime, I have a lot to finish up before March 26!!
