Much has happened over the last several weeks... When we went for our 20-week ultrasound, they noticed that my cervix was measuring short. No action was taken at the time; my doctor decided I should return in a week to see what things looked like then. A week later it looked pretty much the same, and she was encouraged.... But this past Monday, things looked worse-- my cervix had shortened again.
On Thursday, I had a cerclage done-- a surgery to hopefully prevent my cervix from shortening any further and hopefully keeping our little girl where she needs to be so that I can carry her close to full term.
Needless to say, all of this has caught us off guard and has been a little hard to grasp. I am now on bed rest for the foreseeable future, which is also going to be a major adjustment for all of us.
Scott has me hooked up now on a laptop so that I can stay in touch, and I am sure I will have more time than I ever dreamed to keep my blog up-to-date!
Keep us in your prayers! We are confident that God is in control, and that His will will be done.
Much more soon from the couch!

Amy,
I hope and pray for your health and the baby's. And for your sanity on bed-rest!
Met your sister yesterday in blog-land!
Amy, as a long time fan of your voice in Zoe. I feel as if I know you well even though I don't. My prayers will be for you and your little one to be healthy and safe. I was put to bed during my second pregnacy as well. I went into labor at 20 weeks after the tramatic death of my 40 year old brother in law. Laying down for a mom is hard work. Harder work than actually doing work. So my prayers are for you to find peace and joy in your resting. God bless your time of rest.
Thanks, Guys!
It is quite an adjustment, but it will be a small sacrifice to make in the long run.
Thank you SO much for your prayers!
