Pyper at 32 weeks and 2 days

I'm sure everyone is tired of my baby updates but seeing as how this is kinda of a scrapbook of our lives I probably won't be letting up anytime soon.

Giving Mommy and Daddy the thumbs up!

Today we had an appointment with our fetal specialist. It was suppose to be our last sonogram with him but I'll be having another one in 4 weeks. Everything looked great with Pyper, she was measuring right on track and already weighs 4lbs 4 ounces. I couldn't believe she was already that big!! She is still in head down position and facing down so we didn't get a 4D of her sweet little face. However, every time the sonographer got close to her head she would comment on how much hair this little angel has. She said it doesn't look very long but looks pretty thick. I had to laugh because these days a glass of water give me heartburn and the old wives tale is that the more heartburn you have the more hair your baby will have. I can't wait to see just how much hair is on that sweet little head and what color it will be.

Hard to tell but where the arrow is pointing is her little ear.

My cervix was still looking pretty good. 4 weeks ago it was at a 3.78, today it was at a 3.09 so it had shorten some but that's to be expected with how far a long I am. The stitches were still holding nice and strong so that's a good thing, however, last Friday a sharp pain woke me up in the middle of the night right where my cervix is. I was a little concerned but finally went back to sleep and didn't have anymore pain for the rest of the weekend. Well, last night while cleaning up from dinner, I kinda crossed my legs and doubled over a little. Brody immediately came to my side concerned. I told him not to worry I was just having some slight pain on my cervix and assumed she was just dancing around in there.

Well, when I mentioned it to my doctor this morning he said that it was caused by the stitches. He said lots of women have this same complaint with a cerlcage the farther along they get in the 3rd trimester. He said usually the pain is just due to the fact that the cervix won't give at all because of the stitches. He said he for sure wanted me to get to 34 weeks before he took the stitches out. So for now, the plan is to get through the next two weeks and if I'm still having this sharp pain they will more than likely take the cerclage out then. If I haven't had any more pain or feel like I can make it another week or two they will probably take the stitches out at 36 weeks. I would really like to try to at least make it to 35 weeks but we'll see what my body allows. He said we don't want my cervix or the baby to freak out because the cervix can't do what it's suppose to do.

Where the arrow is pointing is all that hair the sonographer kept talking about.

Overall, it was a great appointment and the main thing is that Pyper is healthy and looking great and my cervix is still pretty long and looks strong!! I can not believe we are getting so close to meeting this sweet baby girl!!
