OK I'm a day short on the hump day part but I can't think of anything else catchy for the title. So alas here is my first....of very few(don't want to scare the little kids) bump pictures.
As far as an update goes, basically the high risk and the ob left the decision up to us whether I should do light duty or short term disability. Their argument for light duty was if we financially needed it otherwise disability would be the least risk to the babies. Given that I am only 17 weeks and already have shortening of the cervix. We decided to not risk it. I would never forgive myself if I went back to work "light" duty (which still is a lot of walking) and things got worse and I had to go on bed rest/get a cerclage etc. Thank goodness I have 24 weeks of disability available to me. Why wait until something is really wrong?!? My cervix right now is 2.7. If it were to get to 2.5 I'd have to go on bed rest. For you math whizzes that's .2cm 2 mm. I mean REALLY it seems so nominal. So needless to say we are happy with our decision. Maybe I'll be able to get some decent sleep and my 3am worry session/cheeseteak craving session will be a thing of the past. Well that is of course until I can't roll over without a push from G which I suspect is not far in the future. So now i need to find a hobby. Maybe I'll become an extreme couponer!
With all these cervical checks, we get to see the babies more often; like every 2 weeks. SCORE! They are so funny. We already have personalities attached to them. Baby A is clearly like me because he/she just wants her space and doesn't like to be bothered. When the ultrasound tech put the probe on her/his head she threw her arms in the air like what the hell lady I was sleeping. Sounds vaguely familiar. Daddy was cracking up.
Baby B just seems so chill, just kinda mossies around in the womb. But he/she did show it's Delaware side and was fist pumping today. Mama's so proud. Yea Buddy
Love the pictures! Rest that cervix!!!
