28 Week Check Up

We had an ultrasound today to check out how baby was growing and how the cerclage was holding up. All looked good! My cervix is a little shorter than they would like, but it hasn't changed from last month - 2.4mm. So I was really happy to see that. Baby's brain and heart are, "as good as it gets." Placenta is working quite well and baby Dell now weighs 3 pounds 2 ounces!!!! Sooooo, now we just keep doing what we're doing to keep baby growing and comfy until hopefully November. We see Dr. J in two weeks for a prenatal check, and by then we will hopefully be 30 weeks along!!! Wow! We talked a little about induction on our last visit, and Dr. J said I would be a good candidate having had two successful vaginal births - it all depends on the cervix and baby's position. So, at least we can "think" about it. With how quickly Max arrived - my cervix dialated almost painlessly with Max as opposed to a regular painful labor with Nate - she said it was a good idea to have a transport plan ready. Since Mike can't drive that is a little worrisome, and if it happened in the day most family are not so close or working. By the time I was in pain with Max he was already plus two and ready to be pushed out, so it really is pretty logical to hope for an induction with this little one. But that is thinking pretty far ahead. All I am looking for is to make 30 weeks now! Grow little one, grow!!
