Still thinking pink

The ultrasound was fabulous, no problems, and we have a very healthy little girl in my belly! Everything looked great and my cervix was back up to 3.7 cm.

We saw a very active baby in there. She was grabbing things and kicking and flipping and even spent a few minutes sucking her thumb. She's measuring a few days ahead, but by the looks of this stomach, you wouldn't know it. Seriously, I am halfway there now and you would think I just ate a few too many doughnuts. I should post a picture one of these days.

So I guess this high-risk pregnancy is really turning out to be rather normal. I won't have another ultrasound for three weeks, which is like an eternity. But my peri doesn't want to disturb the lovliness of the cervix with too much poking, so we'll have a quick check a few days before we leave for France at the end of the month.

I can't believe I have gotten to this point with these results. I surely expected shortening and funneling. I surely expected bedrest. I surely expected not to be going to France. Looks like I need a better crystal ball.

I didn't expect Jack to develop an end-of-summer cold. Stuffy nose, sneezing, coughing, the works. I can't wait until I get it. I feel the scratchy throat coming on now...
