WHEN IT RAINS. . .

Late this morning, one of my supremely best friends accompanied me to the OB.
Our mission:  to determine the suitability of my cervix for cerclage surgery.

The Hub met us and we were escorted back to the giant ultrasound room.  I lamented needing to hurry for my aching bladder was reaching extreme proportions.  Luckily, the awesome ultrasound purveyor (she is more than a tech) saucily looked at me and loudly proclaimed, "oh no, honey, go ahead and pee, we're doing this one vaginally."

Yeah.  Relief.

Then, we got down to business.  After a quick vaginal ultrasound to measure the length of my cervix, 4+, she did an external ultrasound to take some basic measurements.

Here is what we found. . .

This Baby is also a spitfire. . . With lots of movement.  Also, a willingness to get fresh with the waves. . . We now know the gender and it certainly stood out!  And, my due date was estimated incorrectly. . . I just gained two weeks.

Of course there is good and bad with all of this. . . I should have already had both the surgery and started the Progesterone shots.  But, we will do them both soon enough.

I hope to post Friday evening or Saturday morning to let you know that the surgery was a success.

Yeah.
