29 Weeks!

I know I'm a little behind, since actually i am almost 30 weeks now! Can you believe it?! Where did time go? I had my 29 weeks Dr's appt last Wednesday, it was an U/S and a check up. I was excited since i haven't had an U/S in 4 weeks. I got weighed and gained 2 lbs in 2 weeks which isn't bad, so im up 33lbs! Holy moly that seems like a large number! My Dr told me not to worry about it though. First thing the U/S tech said when she started scanning is "oh look she has hair!" You could see her hair floating in the amniotic fluid! Kennedy's you could too but she came out with just peach fuzz, so I'm guessing this s probably the case with her too! Her heartbeat looked good at 151 bpm, my cervix is measuring 3.5cm which is great! No funneling either!yippee! By this point with Kennedy i was under 2cm and funneling. So lets just say i was thrilled! She has good fluid around her and is measuring above average! She was 3lbs 2Oz's which is 65% and measuring 2 weeks ahead of what she should! She was measuring at 31 weeks! yikes! We tried and tried to get a good 3d of her little face, but shes such a shy girl, she had her little hands hiding her face like she was playing peek a boo and she was sucking on her little foot! It was so cute! Oh well i guess we wont see her face until shes here, i have only have 1 U/S left, which is a little crazy to think! So maybe at that one she will stop hiding so we can see her a little better! My Dr discussed when my cerclage will be removed, as of now it will be Oct 29Th or November 8th. Depending on how i am doing. the 29th i will be 36 weeks and the 8Th i will be 37 weeks and a few days. With Kennedy they were ripping out by 36 weeks and it was painful plus i was bleeding so we had to do it early. I'm kind of doubting i will make it to the 8Th. I will continue going every 2 weeks until the week before the cerclage removal. She is going to be checking me to see if my cervix has healed over my stitch like it did with Kennedy, if so then i will have a scheduled surgery the week after at the hospital to be put under and have it removed. To avoid all the craziness that happened with Kennedy. If it didn't then i will go the next week and just do it at the Dr's office. My next appt is Sept 20Th. My baby shower is coming up the week after the 26Th! I'm super excited for that! As i feel as though we have done nothing to prepare for her! We don't even know her name! Its a hard decision and i want something a little different but cute too! I did get her wrap made to carry her in and a new diaper bag this week so i feel a little better. I still need to wash all her stuff and get a new breast pump as well as a lot of other things too! The weather here is gorgeous! Its been 70's for over a week now! I love it! Well here's my 29 week belly! Here's to almost 30 weeks!!EEK!!!
