28 weeks, 3 days

It's always exciting when I can leave this room! We went down the hall this morning to do the weekly ultrasound, and this time we had sort of a crowd in the room. A new resident, two new interns, and a new ultrasound tech were in there with the doctor and the regular ultrasound tech. It was a little crazy.

I think he looks like his dad.

The baby was moving around enough to make the doctor happy, and everything they checked on looked good. It looks like he'll be staying head down, and he definitely looked bigger. The only thing they couldn't check on were how his lungs were doing because he wasn't cooperating. They had the weirdest buzzing stick thing to poke my belly with, trying to get him to move. He did, but not in the direction they were hoping. The fluid level is back up to 16, and they're okay with that. My cervix is still really short... I want to say they said 1cm, but they measured a couple things so I may have gotten them confused. But nothing was pushing through, and the stitch is still doing it's job.

We didn't measure for growth this time around because there wouldn't be a huge measurable change from the last time. The doctor said to add 4-5 oz to the last weight, so maybe 2 lbs 11oz?

Really, I think that's a Connealy nose, not a Bruce nose.

The culture came back from the infection test, and it looks like it was E. Coli. I was a little worried when I heard that, but I guess that it's a pretty common cause, and the antibiotics work in a couple days. It doesn't sound like it should effect the baby at all.

Other than that, just more bed rest!
