Early arrival?!?

I went to the doctor again today, since Dr. Thornton wasn't able to see me last week.  She said that she would like me to get an ultrasound in 2 weeks to see how long my cervix is measuring. (The longer the better.)  Bryan and I look forward to seeing our little girl again!  She will look much bigger now, and she better be moving a lot this time!  When we saw her at 18 weeks she wasn't moving much at all, but now that she kicks me non-stop all day, I will know I have a stinker on my hands if she is still again.

Dr. Thornton measured my stomach and said I was measuring 2 weeks ahead.  I am 27 weeks, but measuring at 29 weeks.  Jude was always measuring 2 weeks ahead toward the end, so I pretty much figured she would be measuring big too.  I asked Dr. Thornton if she thought Wren would make an early arrival since Jude came 3 weeks early. (He tried to come 4 weeks early but we were able to hold him off for a few days.)  She said yes, Wren will probably be 3 weeks early, just hopes it's no earlier than that.

As wonderful as it is to think about holding my baby girl sooner than later, I also worry about her health.  I want to keep her in as long as I can, to make sure her lungs are nice and strong for the outside world.  But, I think it's safe to say Wren will be a July baby and not an August baby, like her due date predicts.  I am going to make my prediction of a July 22nd birthday.  I don't know why, but the 22nd keeps coming to mind.

Current weight 112.2 lbs.
