Update on Baby Hanna

We went to see the specialist in St. George last week. He said that they aren't exactly sure what causes the shortening of the cervix, so they aren't exactly sure how to fix it. So he said they take every pre-causion that they can. He said that everything that our doctor is doing is good and he wouldn't change anything. He seemed to be very optimistic that the baby won't come for awhile longer. It helped us quite a bit to here what he had to say.

We went to our doctor yesterday and he said we are loosing a little ground. He said that his first concern is my water breaking and his second concern is me going into pre-term labor. I always thought that once your water broke you were in labor and would have your baby at any time. Apparently they can hold of the labor or the baby coming for awhile. He said he had one lady that went another two and a half weeks after her water broke before she delivered. If my water does break then I will be put on bed rest in the hospital. He still seemed pretty optimistic that I will be okay for awhile longer as long as I stay off my feet.

Other than all of that I am doing fairly well. I am not having hardly any more cramping, so I am feeling pretty good. I am quite bored, but I know that it will all be worth it in the end. Everything else is going good. We will continue to keep you all updated.

Hey this is Elaina, Robert Reich's wife. Thought I would say I'm sorry you have to go through some thing like this. I wonder if you and I have the same problem. My doctor told me I have SPD (Symphysis Pubic Dysfuntion) where the pubic joints are separated than they should be and it's very painful to do anything. Anyways, I thought I would drop in and say hi since Robert told me Kim and you had a blog. Here's our blog if you would like to check it out. www.robertandelainareich.blogspot.com. Keep us updated! How much longer do you have? I'm due between Oct 26th and Nov 1st.
