My cerclage is finally scheduled!

Becky from my OB office called on Friday to inform me that my cervical cerclage has been scheduled for Thursday, February 19th at 11:00 AM at Brandon Regional Hospital. I am to arrive at 9:00 AM and I have a pre-op scheduled for Wednesday, February 13th at 11:00 AM. I am so relieved that this procedure is finally scheduled. It's one more thing I can scratch off my list of worries. I entered my 2nd trimester on February 10th, and I am so happy. The risk of having a m/c has dropped, and will continue to drop once this procedure is done. I forgot to ask her, however, if I need to fast for this procedure. I guess I will ask someone on Wednesday when I go for the pre-op. It is an out-patient procedure, so I will be home later that day if everything goes well. Please say a prayer for me :) Thanks!

One more thing, we finally told Phillip's family. We were supposed to have dinner with his parents after we went in for the NT, but I was sooo sick I couldn't even get out of bed. So we went to dinner on Wednesday instead (I was still very sick). He told them that we went and had pictures done and asked them if they wanted to see them (he didn't mention what type of pictures), and of course they said yes. So I pulled the U/S pics out of my purse and let them see them. They were very happy and congratulated us. We had a lovely dinner. I also called my family in Virginia and shared our news with them, and they too, were so very happy. We also started to tell friends and so far, everyone seems to be happy.

When I went in for my appointment on the 6th, I saw a different Dr. at the office I go to (they have 4 OB's) and she said that they are still waiting for the results of the blood work for the the Sequential 1 testing, but looking at the measurements of the fluid in the back of 'Lil Bean's neck, it doesn't appear to show any signs of DS or any other NTD's, and for that I am praising God! So far, this pregnancy is progressing great. I am praying that it continuess that way.
