29 week update

Today I am 29 weeks which is great... moving right along! I also had a great appointment today with the perinatologist. He did an ultrasound and said everything looks good as far as my cervix goes. There's really not much change. It's 2.6 cm. (6 weeks ago it was 2.7 cm.) and it has "miniscule funneling" according to my Doctor. I'm assuming that's an improvement over the "slight funneling" he saw last time. He said he wasn't going to even mention it! So I guess the bed rest is working!!!

He said the baby weighs a whopping 3 lb. 10 oz.! Of course that's an estimate... Just for reference, when Jaxson was born at 30 weeks 2 days, the ultrasound said he was 3 lb. 2 oz. but he was actually 2 lb. 13 oz. so it can be off by a few oz... Any way you cut it, this guy is BIG and that's good! I definitely look bigger at this point! We'll just have to name him Brutus Maximus! :) I have a theory that he's bigger because I haven't been able to workout this pregnancy. :( I worked out pretty much the whole time with Jaxson... until I was ordered bedrest!

Other than having to stay horizontal, I am doing well! Shawn and Jaxson are hanging in there and we do have a lot of help! There is a chance my OB will allow a little more activity due to the good report on the ultrasound. I'll just have to wait until she reads the report. So I'll probably hear next week sometime. It would be nice to be able to take Jaxson to preschool, that would help out a lot! Anyway, we'll see. I feel confident that this baby will stay put until at least December... and how cool would it be to go full term?!

I'll post more pics next time... Thank you everyone for your thoughts, prayers, and help!

Love,

Ann
