Our past week
On Monday the 28th I went in for my last prenatal check up. I mentioned I had some spotting and so my doctor did an ultrasound to check the baby and to check my cervix. The baby was 3 pounds and the heart beat was strong. But my cervix was half the thickness it should have been. So my doctor had me go to the hospital the next day to get some tests done. They did a test to see if the baby could come within the next 2 weeks and it came back positive. So I got a fancy bracelet and was moved to a bigger, better room. I got hooked up the a machine to monitor the babies heart and my contractions. They wanted to give me steroid shots to help the babies lungs develop. They were given 24 hours apart so we stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. We were planning on flying home to Arizona after Lamar graduates next week but the health of me and the baby are way more important then the plans we already made. So our lives changed so fast in one day, everyone has been so understanding and helpful. It is comforting to know we are being taken care of and watched over. I don't think having my first baby on an airplane is a good idea, so I am glad to say our baby boy will be born in Hawaii. haha I love my doctor and the hospital so it is comforting to know what to expect. It's crazy to think we could be parents very soon, hopefully not too soon.. He needs to grow more before he is aloud to come! I will have weekly doctor appointments now and I will try to keep everyone updated! I look so cute in these pics haha thought everyone should enjoy them!

Oooh I'm glad you and baby are okay! Let us know if you need anything!
Hey Girl Im sorry your having some complications! I too know exactly what that is like I was put on hospital bedrest at 27 weeks for a short cervix as well and I recieved two different rounds of steriod shots. They really made a difference! When the boys came six weeks early they had no respritory problems and didnt have to be put on oxygen or anything!! So hang in there its scary having your baby early but with the technology we have today there is so much that can be done!! hang in there!
Must have been so worrisome not knowing what was going to happen, but I am glad things are slowing down and you are going to be taken care of.
Oh wow! So maybe in 2 weeks?? That is so crazy! I will keep you and baby in my prayers! I'm sure everything will be just fine :) I hope I get to meet the little guy sometime soon! I'm so excited for you guys! (and a little jealous that you're almost done haha) Love ya Chelsea! Take care!
So, Im glad you blogged about this Chelsea because the story I got from Brian (from Lamar) is "Chelsea's cervix was half the size is was suppose to be, and the baby almost came out!" Haha! So, thanks for filling me in the rest of the stuff! I hope everything is going good for you and Im so so excited for you! Good luck and don't let that baby "come out" too soon! Love you Chelsea!
