baby evelyn at 28 weeks

this is baby evelyn at almost 28 weeks! she is so pretty and getting so big! The ultrasound was amazing today! She was in a good position this time so we were able to see her a bit more. We tried to get a 3d pic, but there was fluid and the cord in front of her face. (We are going to try that again next week!) Evie now weighs 2lbs 9ounces! The fluid level is back up to 14, which is huge compared to when it was in the dangerous range of 5 just 2 weeks ago! My cervix is still measuring at around 2cm, which is where it was last week! Dr s said we might even stop the cervical checks after next week, because at this gestational age, it isnt as important since the cervix will start to thin out normally anyway! WOW! I can hardly beleive weve made it to that point! This is such exciting news!

Honestly, it brings me to tears every time i think of the emotional rollercoaster we have been on these last couple months. At 20 weeks i was put on bedrest at home with a funneling,thinning cervix. At 24 weeks I was in danger of having her at any moment. I was rushed to icu, i had signed the consent forms for the c section and talked with all the drs on my team about delivering her that very night! Its a miracle that Ive made it to 28 weeks....and i didnt just barely make it...im stable, at home and looking at the possibilty of having her closer to term! Amazing.....amazing.....amazing!

Mike and I had a pretty intense emotional conversation last night before we went to sleep. I think the thought of actually having a baby in our lives is becoming more and more real every day. I love seeing mike so excited about it! We were just talking about our life together...when we first met 8 years ago,our wedding, little stories we remembered from dating ect..And now we are having a baby....wow!!!!!!
