FFN is a swab test that looks for some enzym or something... and if it comes back negative than there is a pretty high degree of certainty that you will not go into labor within the next couple of weeks.. if it comes back positive, it doesn't mean that you will, but there is chance that you might..

Hahaha.. yeah the steriod shots they game me last week, l literally made me eat like an out of control INSANE person..  I was literally shoving jacob's breakfast waffels and and pancakes into my mouth...  I think my appetite finally started to slow down (after a week)...  

After todays appt, I have gained a total of 12 lbs..  since being put on bed rest I have been gaining a 1 lb a week.... I don't know if that is because of the bed rest or if it is just that time in the pg and I would have been doing that anyway...  I don't remember exactly, but I think I gained like 55 lbs with jacob.. but I started off thinner also..  

I'm feeling pretty good overall... but I'm very nervous today.. This morning they did the fetal fibernectin test and if it comes back positive, I will have to go to the hospital for monitoring..  I don't know for how long...  they are supposed to call me this afternoon with the results... So I'm on pins and needles right now..

I know , I was wondering how you were managing to gain so little!  I was about to ask you for your pregnancy diet but now I know it consists of cherry pie and ice cream!! ;)

I was wondering about you only gaining five pounds so far. I was going to ask you what the dr. said about that!  How are you doing anyway?  You are well on your way to you next goal!!  Feeling ok?
