I received an email from Jenn's husband while the board was down, and here are some excerpts from it. Jenn, Stephen, and baby need our prayers very much right now... Jenn,
...I figured this was a more direct route to the few people that Jenn talks to normally. We had our normal visit yesterday morning and the ultrasound showed that Jenn's cervix is much shorter than it was 2 weeks ago, and is starting to open. It is still closed for about 1.5 cm, but the course of action is strict bedrest. She was admitted to the hospital last night and we are expecting her to be there at least 6 weeks... Obviously the later the baby is delivered the better, so it may be a very long time that Jenn is admitted. We are doing ok I guess, considering the circumstances...
There are no signs on contractions and the amniotic sack is intact still so things look good medically as far as I know. Mentally and emotionally we are going to wear out quickly, but we'll get through... Feel free to inform anyone you think would have an interest...
Thanks,
Stephen some of you may not know that jenn and stephen had a beautiful, seemingly perfect, baby girl stillborn last december at 5 months. they are trying to do everything right, and my heart is breaking for them right now. Please pray for them, and if you have any messages you want relayed, feel free to contact me or any of the admin. Thank you.

Update:
I spoke with Stephen about half an hour ago and the status is this. Jenn's cervix is continuing to thin and open, creating a "funnel" effect. The cerclage (sp?) is still in place and if it weren't for that, the cervix would have already opened.
now for the good news. they had an ultrasound and the baby is perfect, there are no contractions, and the amniotic sack is still intact with no leakage. IF Jenn can stand staying flat of her back for the next 5-12 weeks, AND labor doesn't start, it looks good for them. the are supposed to know more tomorrow.
I'll post the updates as i get them.
