We had an appointment on Thursday (continuing my weeklys). My cervix still looks good. It's measuring 5.6cm or so...which is actually longer than the week before. This TAC thing is quite amazing. I'm still having contractions, but we are trying a different method with my meds this week. We'll see if that helps. I'm still wondering if I'm making a mountain out of a mole-hill with this contraction thing, but I'd rather do that than not. Better safe and crazy than sorry!
For the next two weeks I will likely be focusing on positive pregnancy things. I may be sappy, so I apologize. I just add this as a warning - I know that there were many days that I didn't want to hear (or read) all about the wonders of a new pregnancy, even if it was a fellow deadbabymama. I need this focus to convince myself that we WILL make it to the all important 24weeks. Right now we are just 12 days away from that milestone - Viability day. I know that reaching 24 weeks is not any sort of guarantee. But, for me at least, it means that the doctors will actually try to save my baby. For right now, that seems like a complete miracle...so that's what I will be focused on.

You talk about whatever you need and I will be here to support and help you whatever way I can. B/c I know I will need the same one day, hopefully soon. Take care hon and give the baby girl a rub from me. I'll email you on Monday. LOVERS...
Small steps, one goal at a time. I'm so proud of you for staying strong.
Thinking of you...
I have everything crossed and my hopes up so high that you WILL make it to viability. That will be such a huge milestone and you've already made it past so many big ones. I will read whatever you write, because you WILL be bringing a baby home with you and I'm interested in how you decide to deal with that info!
You say whatever you need to say, and I'll be here. I'm so glad the TAC is holding up so well, and I'm very happy for you!
That TAC is amazing- I want one!
Be happy, be sappy, or sad and down- I'll be here reading along and counting down the days. 24 weeks sounds awesome!
I'll be counting down the days with you. I hope it goes very quickly. This is scary- I can only imagine how scared I would be. Too bad you can't take a nap and wake up in week 24. Keep focusing on how good your cervix looks. Keep focusing on how this is your time to be happy and have your dreams- bring on the sappy!
