29 Weeks Doctor's Appointment

After a long restful weekend, I was hoping I would hear good news from the doctor today.  Ben had spent the weekend with his grandparents and I spent the entire weekend in bed.  I received the news I wanted to hear.  My cervix had returned to 2cm!  I was glad to hear this, but still a little worried since it was under 2.5cm, the magic number I had been told at the beginning of the pregnancy.  My doctor was thrilled to see the increase and said 2cm was great at this point in the pregnancy.  Since we are getting closer to the end, he now wants to see me at the beginning and end of every week.  I will now have doctor's appointments every Monday or Tuesday and every Friday.  He said he wants the assurance that everything is okay on Friday for before going into the weekend.  Although I hate playing the waiting game at the doctor's office, I will feel better with twice a week check-ups.  Less stress and worry for me, too.  This week my belly measured 48cm!  I gained 2 more pounds this week and my blood pressure continues to hold steady at around 112/60.

Here are 3D pictures of Babies A and C.  Baby B continues to be difficult to get pictures of because of his position.
