All in God's Hands

Today we went to see Dr Adkinson for another ultrasound. the babies looked wonderful. Growing so much this time baby A is weighing 2lb 2oz. Baby B 1lb 15oz. they are great everything about them is good. they measured my cervix with abd ultrasound it was 4cm. things were great. Dr Adkinson came in looked at both babies and was very pleased. he saw the abd ultrasound of my cervix and said he wanted to see transvag because it gives a better picture. when he saw the cervix by the other ultrasound everything changed. my cervix was only about 1-1.5cm....not good!!! he did cultures to see if there may be an infection and did a test that will tell him if i am in preterm labor. after all of these test were done he looked at the cervix again. this time it was about 3 cm. we did not understand either. he slightly pushed on my abd and the cervix opened to about 2cm or so....i know very confusing. he said i have a constantly changing cervix. not good. he started steroid shots this morning to hopefully help with the development of the babies lungs. I was monitored for about 30 min to see if i was having contractions and thankfully I was not. there was one little one but that was all. We go back in the morning for another steroid shot and stress test for the babies. He said since I was not contracting, i could go home and not on strict bed rest but to stay off my feet. and not to do lots of walking if any at all. he would continue to monitor the babies at least twice weekly. we are very hopeful that these babies will stay where they are and my body will cooperate to help keep them where they are for at least 4 more weeks. really 8 weeks would be better!! Just wanted to let you know and say a prayer for us that God will just continue to watch over us and these babies!! I know that everything is in God's hands and it has been in his hands from the beginning. He is taking care of these babies and myself. and we put all of our faith in Him. Please Lord just protect these precious babies. We love you!!
