Today was a good day. We went to the OB and had our check-up. He didn't do a pelvic exam or an ultrasound, but I'll go back next week for the pelvic exam, two weeks after that for an ultrasound. It was so great - I told him all about my concerns and worries, and he actually talked to me. My peri was very, very capable, but not a great communicator. My OB explained that, yes, I will continue to shorten, but that he's going to watch it and treat it aggressively. My uterus was contracting before to practice for labor, which caused me to dilate because there was no resistance. Now there's resistance, so things are much more stable. I mentally know all of that, but it helps to hear it and actually feel someone believe it.
I know this relief and good feeling is probably temporary, but it's nice while it lasts. :)

I'm so glad you had such a great appointment. I love it when doctors *really* talk and explain things to you. I hope the comfort lasts a long time :)
I would also like to thank you for all your sweet comments. They mean so much to me!
There's nothing better than having someone actually sit down and talk to you about everything like you are an intelligent person. I'm happy you had this opportunity and I can't wait for your appointment next week!
I'm so glad your appointment eased your mind and that you have such a great OB!
Yeah for a great appointment and double yeah for a great OB! It makes such a huge difference to have someone who is willing to hold your hand as much as necessary.
