More uneasy news

This is the most stress I've felt while being pregnant ever. Im so early in the pregnancy and they keep worrying me about the short cervix (its at 2cm and supposed to be at 3) and now the baby has an irregular heartbeat which needs to be looked at UHgain by a perinatologist with a level II ultrasound.  I am really nervous about the heartbeat but the doctors seem to be more concerned with the shot cervix. This baby is staying in my belly for another 6 weeks! It has to! I start the progesterone shots hopefully this week. Just waiting for pharmacy to call me and tell me they have the Rx filled. I hope they call by tomorrow so I can get the shots going. It's the only thing proven to halt preterm labor. I'll have to get a shot once a week for the rest of the pregnancy and by sometime in January, Im sure they will shoot me up with steroids as well to boost the babys lung development. At this point, 28 weeks is the goal for me. I'm 23 weeks tomorrow. 24,25,26,27,28. Seems so close but so far away. This is a lot of really insane news to digest. I guess there is only one thing to do...go lay on the couch. Ugh the kids are probably up to no good in that play room but at least they're out of my hair for now and thank God they dont care about watching TV all darn day. The big thing I worry about with them is the lack of supervision, I dont think they'd wander into the garage and get into shit but I really don't know. I have run out of milk today and need to get a bday gift for my nephew but I cant get out again until tomorrow, it's raining and I can't bear the thought of taking the kids out in the rain just for a gallon of milk and a couple of cards. My sister's anniversary is also tomorrow and Ive already missed the window of opportunity to mail the card out. Well the phone just rang and it's the pharmacy...my Rx is in...I guess I have to go out now. If I get it tonight then I can get the shot tmrw. I'l just drop mase off at Pk tmrw and then go get the Rx thats the easiest way to go about it. Then as soon as I pick up the Rx Ill just go straight to the Dr where I'm sure a nurse can spare 30 seconds to shoot me in the arm. I feel so much more relieved knowing that this baby has a better chance now.
