36 week update

Well we have had a rough week! Melissa ended up with some form of virus this week. She woke up Sunday morning with a little sore throat and then woke up Monday with a fever. She kicked the sore throat pretty soon but is a little congested still.

Wednesday Melissa starting feeling a lot of pressure and could barely walk. She called the doctor on Wednesday night and then stayed home Thursday- doctor said bedrest for the day and to call Friday morning. She called this morning and we ended up going in. They decided to remove the cerclage which they were going to do on Monday anyways. After they got the stitch out they checked to see if she was dilated- and voila- 3 cm. So we are on baby watch for now. We have the car packed and ready to go. We are both nervous and excited about what is to come. Melissa wants to keep Olivia in the womb as long as possible and let her grow and develop! Right now Olivia would be 4 weeks early. Her real due date is April 14th.

So for now- just a lot of waiting and seeing. If nothing happens- we go back on Monday afternoon for another check. Keep us in your prayers!!
