We went to the Riverside Maternity wing on Thursday morning to have the ultrasound done. Good news: my cervix is still closed. The nurse said that they do not start worrying about it until it is less than 30 cent. and mine is 33. So at this point they think everything is ok. They did an ultrasound that lasted about 30 minutes. They looked at everything. It was so cool to see our baby boy again. He is head down, in position, ready to come out...i just have to keep him in for the next 10-12 weeks. He is facing my back with his spine in my stomach. All his measurements were right on schedule or early. His head is measuring over 30 weeks. The tech told us he would have a nice round head! So after we left the hospital I called my doctor to see if I could go back to work and she said that I could as long as if I have more than 4 BH in an hour, I would go home to rest. I am starting to think that maybe cutting back to 4-6 hours of work a day would be a good idea. So I go back to the doctor on Wednesday and we will see what she has to say then.
I am in Boardman this weekend for my shower. I will post more about that after today. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone. Last night we surprised my aunt Jodie by having my cousin Matt come home. She had no idea! Her face was priceless when she saw him.
Tonight we are celebrating Christmas with my dad's family. We were unable to get together over the holidays so we are all getting together tonight.
And now for the 28 week stats:
how far along: 28 weeks 2 days
weight gain: 18 lbs.
baby's weight: 2lbs. 9 oz.
maternity clothes: yep!
stretch marks: a few but they are not too bad

What I am looking forward to: my shower today!
