28 Weeks Doctor's Appointment

I did not get the news I wanted to hear at the doctor's today.  My cervix has shortened to 1.7cm.  The tech was not going to tell me what I measured, but Derek was watching the information screen and read the numbers.  I was nervous as I waited to hear what my doctor was going to say becasue 1.7cm is the shortest it has been the entire pregnancy. My nurse wanted to know what was wrong because my arm was shaking while she took my blood pressure.  I told her I was nervous about my cervical measurment. The doctor was concerned, but optomistic at the same time.  He put me on a blood pressure medication, even though my BP is perfect, because it also helps relax my uterus to prevent Braxton Hicks contractions that can cause my cervix to shorten. Everything else was great.  I measured 46cm today!  It appears my belly is growing 2 centimeters every week.  I gained 1 pound since last week.  My results from my glucose test were also great, which means I do not have gestational diabetes.  My doctor wants to see me back on Friday to check my cervix again.  Here are pictures of Baby A and C.  We were unable to get a good picture of Baby B.
