Another Baby Update

We went yesterday back to the doctor to get my cervix length measured. Back in 2003, I had a LEEP procedure done to take out some abnormal cells on my cervix. So to make a long story short now that we are pregnant I have to have it measured to make sure it can hold the baby in (sorry - only way to put it in layman's terms!) So we went yesterday and I don't think the ultrasound tech looked at my chart first because she just did a regular ultrasound at first. She was an awesome tech and was showing us every little part of the baby and took a zillion pictures in which we came home with about 5. And boy was the baby just a moving around and waving at us. Then the tech was like, why are they asking for another sonogram at this time and I said to measure my cervix. So then she proceeded to measure the cervix and asked if we wanted to know the sex of the baby and we of course said yes. She said she would try even though it is sometimes a bit early in the game to tell....and she could not see anything because the baby had its legs bent the whole time. So we left with a several more pictures we were not expecting and with a good report this time for the cervical length. We will have to wait to see what the doctor says and probably get checked a few more times just to make sure I do not need a stitch or 2 to hold it closed.
Unfortunately, I we do not have a scanner at home to put the pics up, but I will do so first thing tomorrow morning when I get to work.
