Doctor Update

Today I went in for another doctor's appointment. I am only up a pound and my belly measured at 31cm. The doctor says my cervix is really soft and he is glad that we put in the cerclage, but that my cervix is closed. He also did one last fFN test for good measure. He just called to say the results are negative - so it looks like this little guy intends on cookin' for at least two more weeks. Yea!

Then I had an ultrasound. My cervix is measuring the same as always at 2.9cm. The ultrasound tech also measured Little Dude and he is officially predicted to be 4lbs 4oz as of today! She also said I was measuring about 6 days ahead, but that 6 days isn't enough of a difference to change my due date or be concerned about. 

Oh, I did mention to my doctor that Tums have basically become a food group and he said that I should be mixing my antacids (switching it up once in a while) so that I don't get kidney stones from the Tums. Good to know.

In other random news, Major ate one of those foam craft paint brushes today while we were out. He is in BIG trouble and knows it too. When we called him inside after we discovered the mess, he didn't want to come. He sat in the garden until Cam went storming towards him. Then he booked it towards me as if I was going to save him. When he got inside he looked up at me like, "I am a sad, sad puppy and I have sinned." Right now he is lying next to me on the couch with his head down in what I refer to as the "pitiful puppy pose".

That is wonderful news!! I'm so happy, that you and the baby are doing good. He's on his way to 5 lbs! I'm so horrible and STILL need to drop by your baby shower card! It's not like we live very far away! Also, I think that is so funny that Major ate a paint brush...haha!

Pookie, Glad the docs appt went well. I really think you might make it to your due date which is 11-20. 4lbs if so awesome. You are going to have to do a post where people will have to guess the date and the date the baby will be born just in case you dont make it to the due date. And yes very good news to know about the TUMS. Let me know if you need anything.

woo-hoo! we're so pleased that the baby is hangin' in there. As for Major - hopefully all of your children will be as repentant as he is. I think that's called having a conscience :) Mom
