THANK YOU again for all of your prayers over the past 17 days! Believe me they have worked!!! We still have a long road ahead, 12 more weeks of bed rest to be exact. If I make it 12 more weeks, that will put me at full term, Feb 28th. That is obviously my goal but a little un-realistic in my opinion. Liam was 2 weeks early so we were already thinking Cortlandt would most likely be as well. My first bed rest goal is to make it 8 more weeks. That will put me at 36 weeks, Jan 31st, which means no NICU for Cortlandt when she comes =) Really 35 weeks would mean no NICU, but I want to be super sure, so 36 weeks it is. My second bed rest goal is to make it each additional week after that. As long as I follow the bed rest that I have been doing here in the hospital, I know I will make it!!!
I know that last statement will be hard. The temptation to do little things around the house, decorate for Christmas, make Liam dinner, take a longer shower, est. will be there. But the consequences of those little things would mean one big bad thing and I am not about to let that happen to Cortlandt. SHE is my main priority, not my only priority, but my main priority. I know I can do this! I know it will be hard for me...heck we all know this will be hard for me...but I can do it! It's for the health of my daughter =)
Well I end this post with another THANK YOU for all your prayers, good thoughts, love and support for Joey, Liam, Cortlandt and myself. I truly have the best family and friends around. Man, I sure am one lucky person!!!
HUGS and LOVE!!!
XOXO!!!
