Baby Girl 32 Weeks

Baby girl and I went for an ultra sound and doctor appointment today. Pretty much all good news.. Cervical length and funneling is looking very good. Baby girl is moving all around and her heart rate is great. However, she is quite a tiny little thing - currently she is only in the 19% if they used her biggest measurements. She is less than the 4 lbs where they would really like to see her at 32 weeks.


Overall, drs are pleased with how things are progressing. I am contracting periodically throughout the day but drs are comfortable as long as there are not more than 4 per hour. They have lifted the strictest bed rest and now am able to go places periodically and do light housework. I still need to work from home for a few more weeks but even that might be lifted in a few weeks and allow me to go back into the office 1-2 days a week.


Everyone would like to see this baby grow for at least 4 more weeks but only time will tell. There is also the possibility she decides she likes it in there and I make it all the way to 40 (let's hope not for mom's sake)!! The dr commented today that is seems she finally caught on that being inside is better than coming out early and she is getting comfy in there. I'm okay with that for another 4 weeks and then would be okay if she decided to meet her mommy and daddy early!
