Prayer Please

Well I just found out last week that my cervix is already starting to shorten. Since I am only a little over 20 weeks this can be a serious problem as it can put me into preterm later causing a miscarriage. The cervix should not start shortening until right before delivery so even a little bit of shortening can be serious. There is a possibility that I will be put on some nasty drugs to stop the contractions and I could possibly be put on bed rest. I am of course concerned about losing this baby but am praying that my cervix will stop shortening and that I will have a healthy baby born at term.

So we officially decided not to find out what we are having this time, so that I wont be as disappointed when we have another boy. I am sure it is a boy but I would rather find out after I have him and can see him, so then I wont have the disappointment. The baby looked great on the ultrasound, so the only concern now is my cervix.
