That's a negative!

My OB's office just called. The fFN we did on Tuesday came back negative! It is funny how so much of our lives we struggle to be positive and with medical issues so much of the time we're thrilled to be negative.

This latest negative result will take me through 28 weeks and 2 days. I was hospitalized with Z at 28 weeks 3 days and he was born exactly one week later. I'm both comforted and a little stressed when I think about that. I had a negative fFN with Z about two or three weeks before I was hospitalized with him. Sadly, I can't remember which is the correct time frame. I didn't really even know what an fFN was at that point. I was sort of oblivious and just had the test so I could get to San Francisco for a visit with one of my closest friends. We didn't even know I was contracting regularly then.

I knew I would have hard emotions when I came close to D-day (Delivery day) in my pregnancy comparisons. But I'm not there yet and I feel like it is starting. Fortunately, things are still going well and my ultrasounds have all been reassuring. So for now, I'm trying to focus on those good things.
