And still very much pregnant.
After a big scan this morning, the doctors have determined that everything is fine. My cervix is still nice and long and closed, with no funneling. The baby is active and growing well and my placenta is healthy and away from my cervix.
They have no idea what caused me to lose the mucus plug, but they suspect that it was the infection that I had.
I’m not on bedrest, just ‘light’ rest. IE: I get to have Nathan do all the lifting of the washing baskets and the vacuuming.
The baby flipped head down while I was in the hospital, so I can officially stop complaining about feet in my bladder. My entire belly has dropped too, so I can almost breathe properly again.
I have been told to be extra vigilant and to ring the hospital if there is anything going on that doesn’t feel right.
You have no idea how pleased I am to be home. I’m tired (hopsital isn’t exactly the most restful place, heh) and strung out and CANNOT wait for bedtime tonight.
As I write this, Amy is having a tantrum because THINGS AREN’T WORKING RIGHT (think she’s been stressed too?) and Nathan is cooking tea. Gotta love that man.
Thanks so much to Mum who updated my blog and also to everyone who commented and thought of me. You have no idea how much it meant to me to come home and see all my emails. I’m still trying to work my way through them!
You guys are awesome.
such wonderful news you are home and baby is still cooking, safely and soundly.
Be a lady of leisure and let Nathan take good care of you … he is a keeper by the sounds of it.

Marylins last blog post..Weekly Winners #31
Such a relief to know the sweet power of prayer can work speedily when it’s really needed. I’m glad the pressure is off your bladder now with baby boy being head down and all, but now you’ll have him kicking the heck out of your ribs and stomach. sorry to hear Amy was stressed to the point of tentrums, (I thought she might be), but she’ll get over it. Truly, she will. By the time she starts school she won’t remember a bit of this.Keep your feet up.
lceel mentioned you on his blog, so I had to come over and add another hug and prayer. Milk the “light rest” for all you can get, love. Sit at the computer all day and surf.
I had to laugh at the Cadbury photie. I have one of those too from a while ago, but it was cinnamon instead. Then days later, it was damp potted plant soil. EVERYwhere. Took me 90 mins to clean the bloody stuff off everything.
Anyway…what a relief you’re doing OK that was a heart stopper just reading it!

Just make sure you do rest and take care!
Good to have you home and both of you safe.

*HUGS*
Jenn FLs last blog post..A Favor
YES!!!!! I’M SO GLAD!!!!
I’m guessing this latest doctor spoke English nice and slow so you understand you need to “rest” and let Amy do the cooking.
Bwa haaa. She’d be so cute at it, too.
I’m glad you’re home and that you and the baby are both doing well… 🙂
Rebecca (Ramblings by Reba)s last blog post..October 2008 Curves update

Connies last blog post..Weekly Winners=October 5th-11th 2008
I’m glad you’re feeling better and were able to come home. Maybe baby just needed the extra room that plug was taking up and decided to push it out of there. 😉
Be careful and pamper yourself!!
sherendipitys last blog post..I’ve got a problem with my plumbing.
Veronica! I don’t read your blog for a couple of days, and all hell breaks loose??? My goodness! I am so glad things are ok for now, and I definitely encourage you to do AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.
Can I just say, I’m a little jealous that I don’t have an excuse not to vaccum and carry laundry around? 🙂
Best wishes!!!
Debs last blog post..Disappointing?
Veronica, I am so pleased to read this post. Yes, enjoy being home, stay off your feet, and relish the thought of how much drama this baby will be capable once born!!!

Okay. I can breathe now. But if you don’t mind, I’ll just stay extra vigilant, for a while, and keep the prayers flowing. No sense in stopping now, that I’m on a roll. Can’t hurt, eh?

Lotus Carrolls last blog post..Psycho With A Schedule
What a relief! Sounds like you’ve got a feisty child cooking. Please get the rest now, because it’s likely he’ll cause all sorts of hullabaloo once he’s on the outside (at 40 weeks, please!)
Suzannes last blog post..Tangibles and Intangibles
Glad to hear that everything is all right for now. Please take it easy, I will keep you in my thoughts!!

Well thank God for that!
(So glad the baby flipped – I had a breech one and I know how “oh so lovely” that feeling is!)
Colleen – Mommy Always Winss last blog post..Weekly Winners – October 5 – 11, 2008
YAY!!!!
Does a mucus plug replace itself? Hmmm. You could stick a cork up there, maybe. A very, very small one.
LOL. Sorry to be weird in your comments.
I can’t wait until I get pregnant again – because then I’ll be a pregnant Grandma. Talk about weird.
VERY happy you’re home and everything is okay.
KatStuffs last blog post..Just Call me Grandma

V, I came over from Lou and Lotus — You are still in my prayers. I am so glad to hear that the baby is fine, that you are fine and you have wonderful people taking good care of you AT HOME. I know you must be feeling so releaved. Continue to take care of yourself, and I’ll continue to lift you up to the Lord.
Don’t feel that you have to reply — I’m just a casual friend dropping in. 🙂
Patsys last blog post..A Positive Meme
OH MY GOSH. I can’t believe I missed all that! I’m SO glad you’re OK and the baby’s OK. You rest and relax and take care of yourself. I will be thinking of all 4 of you and saying prayers for you.
Hi!!! Nice to see you’re back! (and ya front!)
What a scary time! I had a talk to my Nathan about it and he was talking about prem babies and incubators and I was like ‘ARRRGGHGHHH!!’ We are so lucky that we live in a modern, western world where doctors can do amazing things! The best way is to have a baby cooked to perfection though, isn’t it?
Thanks Kim for updating and the well wishing worked!!!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Great to hear you’re back home!
Hope you catch up on your rest 🙂
Jaynes last blog post..Trivial History October 14

It is SO awesome to hear good news!!!!!!
I feel so relieved for you.
Please rest!!!!!
Dinas last blog post..Buying Books in Portland
I’m visiting by way of LouCeel’s blog. I’m so glad that you got some good news! Despite what the doctor said… I’d still do as much “bed rest” as you can muster. There’s nothing like being waited on hand and foot! 😉
Elizabeths last blog post..Ohmigoodness Ohmigoodness!
Welcome back. I’m seconding the advice on resting as much as possible – Amy permitting of course. No more scares please 😉
I am so pleased for you. I follow Tiff (mythreeringcircus) and she mentioned you were in hospital. I just lost a baby at 20 weeks so I know how stressful this pregnancy thing can be. Take it easy and rest when you can.
Although I now live in NSW, I was raised in rural Tasmania – the crazy old place.
All the best,
Rach
So pleased to read the good news. Best wishes for an uncomplicated pregnancy right through to term. 🙂
is it baby season? it seems everyone I visit is having a baby! I’m glad you got back home with good news and only sore feet!
Andy Baileys last blog post..Tell me what you want, what you really really want……. (please, no zigs or ahs)
so glad to hear you are home and still have the baby on the inside for now… make sure you do rest up as much as you can!
I am glad to read that you are home and still cooking that little ‘bun’. I stumbled here via Tiff, and have really enjoyed your blog so much, that I have an award over at my blog for you.
IM so glad you and the baby are back and safe welcome home.
Suzies last blog post..My Drug Store My Friend
I am glad you are home and doing well. I’ll still be thinking about you and your little one, take it easy okay?

Oh, todays test looked very promising. We notified the family, we finally did it. Yay!
Talinas last blog post..My brain is mush, la, la, la (might be the HGC huh?)
Wonderful news about being home! Rest up young lady and keep that bun in the oven! 🙂
So glad you are home and doing okay. Take it very easy (as much as possible with the adorable Amy around, anyway!)!
Julies last blog post..Moving in.
I’m so glad you and the baby are okay! I’ve been away and when I got back and started reading your blog through my bloglines (I always start with the old and read up to the new, because it makes more sense to me) and I read about the issues you were having, my heart fell to my feet. You’re on my mind and I’m sending positive vibes your way to help keep you and that precious baby healthy and happy.
Leslies last blog post..Paige and Julia
Oh I am SO pleased! Saw you commenting over on Tiff’s blog, and I knew from that you were home. So I came here with trepidation, afraid of what I might find, but of course hoping for the very best. Take it easy, as I’m sure you will.
