Couldn't have asked for a better appointment

We had our check up with the specialist today, which included a growth ultrasound and another cervical length check.  Good news on all fronts:  My cervix is unchanged from last time (still 2.3-2.5cm), and baby girl is still measuring around 1 week ahead.  She is no longer breech (thank you, prenatal yoga), and they are estimating her size to be 3lbs 9 oz!  We also got a small sneak peek of her face....I'm so in love, even though I really can't tell what we're looking at.  The tech confirmed once again that Baby Girl is still a "she" and we even got to see her gulp some fluid again.  The estimated due date based on her measurements is now July 19th, but they won't officially move my due date from the 27th because there has to be a 14 day difference to do that.  And the best news:  because I've been unchanged for a month now, I can stop seeing the specialist!  I still have to remain on the progesterone until 35-36 weeks, but she sees no reason for me to come in for checks unless I start feeling contractions again.  It's always great to hear that what you're doing is working.  I'm still at risk for a preterm delivery, so my restrictions are the same, but NO BEDREST!  Yay! 


My OB saw me for my regular two week check-up right after, and everything is looking good on that front too. Blood pressure, weight, etc. is all right where she wants them to be.  I celebrated with an Egg Mcmuffin right after....gosh I love those things.  :)
