Lookin' Good

I'm at 21.5 weeks and all is well.  I just had another ultrasound on Friday, and once again my cervix is measuring as it should, and there is no funneling or other signs of premature labor.  I get checked every two weeks to make sure I'm still on track.  I'm glad I didn't need to go through the surgery to have my cervix stitched up, but admittedly in the back of my mind I still have this constant worry that something will go wrong.  After all, everything looked peachy with Adalynn when I was at the 20-week mark with her, and she still arrived 10 weeks later.  But I guess that is what these every two-week check-ups are for, right?  It appears that so far the progesterone is doing it's job and keeping Lil Mac content where he's at, and it's such a relief with each ultrasound to hear that everything looks perfectly normal.  Even though I still have the pelvic pressure and pain already, each check-up provides me with peace of mind (for a little while anyway). 

I only had one picture taken of myself when I was pregnant with Adalynn, and it was when I was 20 weeks.  So I had Eddie take a picture of me when I was 20 weeks this time as well.  Not much of a difference, eh?

20 Weeks W/ Lil Mac

Our little boy is still very active; much moreseo than Adalynn ever was.  He even keeps me up at night sometimes.  He's hanging out quite low and is already head-down, which the doc said can contribute to my discomfort a bit.  I swear, he's also tap dancing on my bladder at all times.  I am peeing more now than I did in the beginning of the pregnancy.  But I have to admit, I find the little guy entertaining if nothing else.  At this most recent ultrasound, he looked like he was smacking his lips at me.

Still has the bad habit of sucking his thumb!

 

He has the same pouty lips as his big sis!
