Update

Thought I would give another update, since really I have nothing more to do in the hospital.

Last night we had some visitors. Barry, Zach, Sarah and Darlene came for a short visit. They stole Jason to go out and eat at Friendly's of all places (my favorite) which I wasn't to happy about, but at least a friend came by from my job at school last year, Jessica. I would have been in a much worse mood had I been left alone. Jess stayed for a long time while asking me a million preggers questions ;) Which I didn't mind, since I almost kind of feel like an expert at this point :) lol.

So this morning i did some hunting to try and explain a little more about what we are dealing with so lets see if these pictures make sense to you :)

These are pictures of a normal cervix in diagram form and on an ultrasound. The second set of pictures shows one with a shortening and funneling cervix. This is kind of what mine looks like on ultrasound.

The cerclage is placed like what you see below. You can see the same sort of lips on the diagram pictures above to see how it works and where it is placed.


Then this picture is kind of for fun :) this is the camera they use to check my cervix. You can use your imagination for the kinds of names we call it :)

Other Websites

There are many sites that have been created at this point that go along with my memorial for my little girl:

Miscarriage Blankets
The site I made to describe the blankets and how to order them from me.

Angel Poems
A place for my poetry along with others.

Kaitlin's Memorial CD
Why I chose these songs and their lyrics
