29 weeks!

Had two Dr. appointments this week, one with my OB (monthly) and a cervix check up (bimonthly), both were great check ups! At my cervix ultrasound I had a detailed ultrasound besides my cervix ultrasound, to check on baby's growth, measurements, etc. It was awesome because we got to see her for about 20 minutes and this was the 2nd longest time we've gotten to in 7 months. Usually it's just a super quick peek at her and that's it, so besides my 20 week detailed scan, this one was the most we'd seen her! We saw her opening and closing her mouth (most likely practicing breathing), sucking on her fist, wiggling all around. She wasn't in a good position to show her profile so no pics of that, darn! At one pint her ankles were crossed but then most of the scan she had her leg up over her body and her foot up right by her face...this is the 3rd ultrasound we've seen her do that! She must think it's pretty comfy :) Everything with her looks perfect, good fluid, great heart beat and she weighs 3lbs 3 oz already which I was surprised to hear! From everything I've read, most babies this gestation weigh 1.5 to 2.5 pounds, I just can't believe she's already over 3! So great!
The twins were 4 1/2 each at just 32 weeks, makes me so curious what size full term babies I'd have...can't wait to find out with this bundle :) My cervix is still looking remarkable and is 4.3 cm which is "a mile long" they say, it hasn't shortened at all and is staying strong and holding up perfectly which all Glory to God for that!! They say I can stop coming in now for my 2 weeks check up on it bc everything has gone so well but I am going to keep my bimonthly check ups bc it gives me reassurance and peace of mind. Baby is head down and her head is really low, right on top of my cervix and even with that it's still long and strong. Dr. even pushed down onto my abdomen/cervix during the cervix ultrasound to see if the pressure changed it and it did not. So, so great. Also all along this pregnancy I have had a low lying placenta which just means due to the position of it, if it didn't move up, I wouldn't be able to have a vaginal birth bc it is essentially in the way of the baby to the birth canal. A prayer of this pregnancy is a VBAC so I've been hoping and praying it would move which all along my Dr. has been confident it would, as of 2 weeks ago it was still low lying. At Monday's check up it had moved up! Such great news!! A VBAC is still an option :) So Monday's check up yielded so much good news and seeing our muffin for that long was just icing on the cake.
It's always just remarkable to see the life inside you. Truly an amazing gift from God and something I marvel at constantly. As with the twins, I just LOVE being pregnant. Love everything about it, especially experiencing seeing and feeling the baby grow. I only have like 75 or 74 days left of and that makes me sad! I am just enjoying it so much. I just keep giving glory to God for this sweet, dream come true pregnancy that we prayed for. She is a constant reminder to me of God's faithfulness and goodness! Every time I see my belly or feel her move, I smile. Just like the twins are a constant, daily reminder of God's faithfulness and goodness bc of how he protected them and got them here safely, alive and healthy. Answered prayers, all my babies are. I love it.
God is good!
