Update
Sorry for the delay in post - I just now have internet and this will have to be quick because I'm not feeling very well. Went in, contractions, terbutaline didn't work, dilated a bit more - but able to leave cerclage in for now. Magnesiaum Sulfate started. Has had to be increased which makes it a bit of a wicked ride. I get used to one dose and they increase it slightly. But Spot is okay, can't eat or get out of bed, and haven't been up to shower in a couple of days - but we're trying to hand tough. Worst side effect is the blurred vision and muscle weakness which makes typing this a job, LOL! I just can't seem to focus my eyes right now on the higher dose of Mag - but hopefully we won't stay there long. Things haven't changed at all in the last 8 hours and I feel incredibly blessed. Got the speech from the NICU guys today - tried to zone most of it out to keep my sanity. But I realize what may be around the corner. Sorry for the rambling - my brain is mush. Thank you so much for all prayers and good thoughts are so appreciated. I'm hoping that this is weaned down soon and that there are no more changes.

Sara - you are doing awesome, girl, you and Spot are such troopers! Keep hanging in there, and I am praying that however things unfold in the coming days and weeks, you will either have Spot in your arms or at least be able to kiss her little cheek as the NICU does it's thing. Hugs to you!
prayers, prayers and more prayers... plus lots of hugs. ;)
Don't ever apologize for the delay in updating your blog. The more important thing is getting well. So girl, don't worry about it. I hope little spot stays in your belly. You and your family are in my prayers. Stay Strong!

Hang in there. The mag is miserable but does an amazing job! Continued prayers.
Mag is no fun. Hang in there and know I'll be thinking of you and hoping all continues to go ok! Hang in there!

Sending you all kinds of love and light.

You are in my thoughts. Hope Spot stays in there a while longer!
I've been worried about you, too...I'm glad for the update, but sorry you are having such a rough time of it. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
Hang in there!! The mag is no fun but you'll get through it! Thinking of you and your little Spot!
Prayers are coming your way from me! Hang in there the best you can!
-Hugs,

Ugh... Mag. Blech. It does work wonders, though. Best of luck to you and Spot.
Oh, good. I've been worried. I am glad things are hanging on there. Tell Baby Girl Spot to hang in there. You are doing a great job. Hang in there.
I may just take up praying. I hope all the changes since you posted are to the postive.
hi, I'm a friend of Meredith's and have been reading your blog every now and then. You have been through quite a trip! And have maintained such good spirits through what sounds like really hard stuff. Don't be too hard on yourself if you crash emotionally when you can finally take a breath. I had my son in February at 27 and a half weeks in an emergency c-section. He was growth restricted, in the -1%, due to a poorly functioning placenta. He spent his whole third trimester in the NICU and is now completely healthy and growing and developing right on cue. He is a big boy, babbling next to me as I write. Did you know that preemies tend to be exceptionally good looking? (once they come to term, they blow the full-termers out of the water if I do say so myself). Really, it must be the universe's way of making up for the rough start. They also seem to be quite the group of hams. I'll bet the NICU guys didn't tell you that. If you want some good blog addresses of preemie moms let me know. (susannabluhm@yahoo.com. --or if you want to ask questions to someone who's been through this). You really are prepared and your little girl is in good hands. You're going to be a great mom.
Thanks for the update. You three are always in my thoughts, and I hope they are able to get everything calmed down so that Spot can have a few more weeks inside.
I am so glad to hear from you. I am praying and thinking of you!

you and spot are in good hands
Thanks for the update. Thinking of you and spot.
Just stopping by to let you know that I am thinking about you. ((hugs))
Pulling for you Sara! Sending hugs and prayers your way. Stay strong.
Praying, praying, praying!!!
Hang in there sista...
Praying for you, Dh and Spot. Send Good Vibes and prayers your way!
even when wacked out and scared you make jokes, I adore you. I am hoping like hell you get as much time as spot needs. I'm crossing everything over here, and its not so easy when you're as big as I am right now ha ha.
Thinking about you! Hang in there.
You are in my prayers. I know that is really all anyone can do for now...but if there is anything you need, please let me know. Spot is a fighter and there's no way she's stopping now!
okay, you continue to hang tight. Ugh, the mag sounds terrible. ~hugs~ all around!
Hoping that Spot stays in, but hoping if things come to pass that little Spot does just brilliantly. Like her mother.

You are doing such an amazing job taking care of little Spot. I know she'll be as tough as her mom whenever she graces us with her presence (of course, I'm still hoping and praying that we hold off on that a bit)
Thinking of you
You and little Spot are in my thoughts, as always. Hang tight.
Sara, hang in there, you are both doing great. Every day in you is 2 less in the nicu, stay strong, I know how much the mag sucks. I met a gal today that has 4 children. One born at 31 weeks (6 yrs old), twins at 25 weeks(5 years old) and one more at 27 weeks ( 8 months old). All of them were great, one of the twins wears glasses, but they were all healthy and strong.
Sending so many positive thoughts and wishes your way that things hold on a bit longer. Hugs to you.
Bless your heart...you're laying up in the hospital with blurred vision and you're sweet enough to update us! Thank you...you have been on my mind a lot this week.
Praying for you and Spot...
Love ya, girl!
Thinking of you and Spot, Sara. I am glad you are hanging in there. I wish things were not so hard, but you are doing an incredible job with everything. Much love.
Hey There Sara!
I'm so sorry you are having to go through all this! The mag sounds awful!
Just know we are all thinking of you and praying for your little girl! I know she is going to be a tough cookie, just like her mom no matter when she decides to finally come!
Keep us updated if you can!
Hugs!
Thinking of you all!
Praying for you and Spot! Hang tough Sara!!!
I'm hoping and wishing and praying for you guys!
Sara, I haven't stopped praying for you & will continue to pray that God will give you a glorious testimony. Hang in there baby.
You are soooo in the T&Ps!
So glad to hear you are still hanging in there! My hubby and I are praying for you. You and Spot are very strong and very brave!
Hugs!
I'm hoping no news is good news...
