we've got funneling!

as an okie

i am very familiar with the term

"funneling"

you will hear it on the news at least three times a week

between the months of march and june

and

more than not your favorite show

will be interrupted

at least once

with a meteorologist speaking of

funneling activity

in a county that only a true okie could pronounciate

but when the ob

talked about funneling

i was a little taken back

ok i was really taken back

a part of me was waiting on the infamous Gary England

to come across the ultrasound monitor and tell me what county funneling was spotted

turns out your cervix can funnel

this is NOT my funnel this is courtesy of google search

and

like the funneling

i've been referring to

this type of funneling is not good either

will a tornado touch down in utero

no! but we are definitely now being "watched"

like the thousands of okies that glue to their tv

when storm chasers are trying to get the best shot

of that funnel cloud

so what does a funneling cervix mean?

not quite sure...

lamens terms

i am dilating from the inside out

dr google terms

i am about to deliver a baby

and should seek bed rest immediately!

stay away form dr google please!

the doctors have not put me on bed rest!

we are just back on two week checks for now

and

making sure this funnel doesn't grow

i knew that i was at risk for preterm labor

but

the pregnancy has been so easy so far

measurements have been good

baby is measuring three weeks larger than we should be

so

this is our first real complication

for now i will not worry

and just pretend

Gary England

is giving me a play by play

that i am so use to hearing

every spring

now what county should we call my cervix?
