I'm Still Pregnant...

Well, here I am at 23 weeks and 4 days and I'm still pregnant! I'm super happy to be at this point...now the most pregnant I've ever been. It feels good. I wish it was all down hill from here but I definitely can't say that. I had an appointment with the peri today and things are looking great still. This little guy is measuring a few days ahead and also now weighs 1lb. 4 oz. I'm measuring 25 weeks, so still a little bit ahead as well. I seriously feel huge though, even though I was still quite a bit bigger with the girls. My cervix is measuring 4.5, which is still great and super long. The peri told me that they would usually stop seeing me at this point for cervical checks, but since I'm such a wreck (not exactly their words) they will still continue to see me and I go again in 2 weeks. I'm really happy to hear that because my OB is going on vacation for 5 weeks and that has me a bit nervous. I'll see him next week before he leaves and then he'll have a CNM seeing his patients while he's gone. I've never seen a midwife but I think it will be really nice actually. Hopefully she's understanding and doesn't think I'm a total freak if I want to come in constantly! That's about all I have for today. 24 weeks is this Saturday...

    I am so happy to read this post today, Jenny!!! I was thinking about you all day. I don't know what those cervix measurements mean, but just as long as it's good news, I'm estatic for you!!! I had both my kids with a CNM, and I wouldn't have had it any other way! They are so wonderful, I hope you find your experience with one just as nice. You are doing so well, can't wait to see the Week 24 picture!!! Love you all!!!

    Yay! I'm happy to hear the peri is going to continue seeing you. Peace of mind is important. Hooray for the CNM :) Remember they're nurses too, so they tend to lean toward the med side of things, so I'm sure she'll be absolutely understanding. Not that a regular midwife wouldn't, but I think you know what I mean.

    I have been waiting all week to see your post for today. I am so excited that you and your baby boy are doing great. That is super cool that your peri will see you more and ease your mind. They are right when they say that peace of mind is important. Try not to stress about your doctor going away. You and baby will both be okay. You have the two most powerful, healing, & strong hands wrapped around you. Much love & many continued prayers,
