Is this really possible?
Yup - somehow the higher dose of procardia seems to be working for the time being. My cervix hasn't made any drastic changes from it's normal pesky self, and my cerclage is intact. I actually am getting to camp out at home on the procardia for now, and see how this little trial run goes. My OB said that I may be back within a few days - but we both are willing to give things a whirl since there is no immediate danger. I know it may not be for the long haul, and I know it'a bit of a bandaid fix that may only last a few days. But any day I get to be not at the hospital is the new best day of my life. I literally think I may be the happiest girl alive today. No doubt. And to say thank you for all of your kind words and encouragement doesn't seem quite enough. But for now just know that I appreciate it more than anything I can type into words.

Hooray! I am so glad that things are looking up and that you get to snuggle your dog on your couch again.
Yeah!!! Great news! You and little Spot are such fighters. Enjoy every second of your house, couch, and bed ;)
Hi, I have been following you for a while and every day when I open you blog I just wait for a good news. I'm so happy for good news today. Spot keep hanging there for a while longer. You both are very strong. Keep praying for you.
Just hang in there, all of you!
great news Sara!
So glad the Procardia is working and you are home -- even if for a little while.
Hang in there, my friend!
I suck 100% for dropping out of contact. I do hereby solemnly swear that I will make a special point to read your blog EVERY DAY and comment when you post, and hound you for updates when you don't, my friend. :)
I'm glad, glad, GLAD that you're able to come home for a bit, and I hope that your uterus and cervix surprise you and allow you to stay safely home for much longer than expected.
Now where's that chocolate pool that we both need to go dive into? *wink*
YAY! You are back at home! Every day you are at your house is a blessing!! Every day Spot is still in her house is a blessing!! :)
Hi Sara, It's my firt time to visit your blog. Anyhow, having been in short-self-imposed bedrests in the past myself, I applaud you for having done that for 12 weeks now!!!
Meanwhile, may you and spot continue to hang in there!!!
Yaay, so glad you are at home! Like the last poster said, every day is a blessing!
And yes - Carrie and I are good friends! I updated my most current entry to talk a little more about how it is we know each other. :)
Yee-Haw, Welcome Home! I am hoping and praying this bandaid fix and trial run is Super Duper Successful. Mrs.Ute just needs to accept that Lil Girl Spot's lease is not up for a few more months. I can send some Graeter's Ice Cream? I am resorting to bribery here. ((Hugs)) I bet your pup and DH are delighted to have you ladies home too.
A little jealous, but just so happy for you! I am hoping for a few weeks of calm for you...
28 weeks, here we come!
Glad you are taking each day as another accomplishment. You hang in there and keep spot in there. You might surprise yourself and make it to 32 weeks after all. Anything is possible!
YAY! for one more day!

Amazing news! Bet puppy is glad for you to be home, too!
What a sigh of relief! Things have to be going well for you to be able to be at home, so that's wonderful! I know you are more then thrilled about being home with your puppy all snuggled up on you.
I'm hoping you can stay home for weeks to come!
You've been reunited with your couch! Fabulous!!!
woo hoo! That's great news! Go Spot go (and you too Sara) :) Keeping you in my prayers...
I'm so glad things are stable, but I hate that it feels like we're counting down the days....I really want so much longer for Ms Spot to stay in utero....

Just wanted to share that Procardia held my twins in an extra 5 weeks despite the fact that I was already 2 cm dialated. I did have two rounds of mag, once in the beginning then once the day before they were born. You get used to the side effects! Good luck, you've made it this far! Horray!!!
Yes, one day at a time!!!!
We're here for you!!!
U're such a super trouper!!!
Sarah,
I found your blog about 6 months ago when I clicked on one my "interest" links in my profile (the anesthesia link) and I stumbled across your page. I go to your blog now a couple times a week to see updates on you and your little Spot. I just wanted to give well wishes to you both!!
One day at a time... =)
I am so happy for you!!! I hope your time at home is uneventful for you, Spot, and your sweet little dog.
Thinking of you everyday.....much love and lots of "stay put, Spot" thoughts coming your way.
Yippeee for being home! I've been thinking of you and spot-ette lots this week...sending up prayers for you two. The 25 wk growth scan was so precious!
Enjoy snuggling with puppy again...I'm sure she's beyond happy to have you home! :)
So glad you are home again and hope you get to stay there for at least a few more weeks. Hang in there girl.
keeping my fingers crossed for you and spot both. hospital stays are stinky!
I know others have said this, but Procardia could give you many weeks more of pregnancy...I'm so glad you're home, and comfortable. Keep taking good care of yourself, and your little Spot.

Wow, you got to go home! I wasn't expecting that...what wonderful news!! You're still in my thoughts and prayers!!
Yay! That's a great thing to read at the start of my day! :)
I'm so glad you are hanging in there. I know every day matters, so keep fighting! I'll be thinking of you.
YAY!!! Awesome news!!!! I hope it keeps working for a long time ... 30 weeks spot! you are almsot there! You will be 26 weeks soon right? rest, rest and rest!
That's great news about getting to go home! I'm sure your sweet little puppy missed you as a snuggle buddy :)
*swiping away tears* I read your post and got a bit weepy then I read the comments and got even MORE weepy! How awesome to have so many people rooting for you and your little Spot?! I know the feeling of "one more day". Sending you lots of good juju and wishing you to stay at home!

I have just read your last few posts and boy are you going through it! Well done for coming this far! Thank you for your comment on my blog :o)

Welcome home!! So happy you are back on your own couch! :)
Hang in there, girl. You are so strong and so is little Spot!
((HUGS))
Fingers crossed over here, too! Every day really does count, and you're doing great! *hugs*
Sara, I've been away so I missed commenting on your previous posts -- but I want to say I'm so glad you're both doing well and that the meds are working (though I know you must feel pretty awful on them!) You're right about each day bringing your little girl that much more time where she belongs :) Safely in your belly! I'm thinking good, calm cervix/uterus, gestating thoughts for you guys. Keep us posted and HANG IN THERE! You're doing great!
So glad everything is going good and that you get to be at home. Such a blessing!
Just checking back for an update...
hey, sara! Sorry to hear you were back in the hospital with contractions. I can't believe I've missed reading your blog all week. I've been busy preparing for this hurricane, but still, I can't believe I've missed so much. I hope the meds are still helping to keep the contractions at bay and I'm glad that you are able to enjoy the peace and comfort of your own home. I'll be checking back frequently in the next couple of days. Take care and you and Spot are in my prayers.
I'm so glad you get to be home for a bit! Just rest, rest, rest!!!!
