  Yep yep yep! And we are doing pretty great this far along. 

  
  

  Still on bed rest but I've started telling folks its 8 weeks down, 8 to go rather than focusing on the likelihood of going early! My docs are all feeling positive about my chances of making it to 36 weeks although once the cerclage comes out and the p17 stops that week- its anyone's guess when labor will start. Even had our shower this past weekend- I had to stay seated, but despite it being a long active day, no cramping or contractions. 

  
  

  The next mini goal is 32 weeks so I can deliver at the local hospital rather than be transferred downtown to the big children's hospital. Then we start weekly appointments with BPPs and aim for 36 and beyond. I'm honestly thrilled at making it this far when my docs were seriously worried I might not make it past 24 weeks. Every time I see a doc they're like "Holy crap... You're still pregnant!" Feels good

  Awesome! I hope you two continue to be well! My doctor said 32 weeks is a big milestone in general for everyone, and you've almost hit that! So cool!

  Methodist Willowbrook is the goal. They only have a level 2 nicu though, so Elisabeth needs to stay baking and keep growing for a bit longer. On the plus side- she's hitting all her growth milestones like a champ so far and should be over 3lbs already.
