The top picture of Baby Carly's profile at her ultrasound photo shoot today at Dr. R.'s office. The bottom one shows her mouth open while yawning. We caught her yawning about 3 times and it was super cute!
Dr. R. said he was "super pleased" about how my cervix looks 2 months after the cerclage surgery. The cerclage is still very tight in place, but even better is the fact that the walls of my cervix on the internal side of the cerlage are tightly pressed together. 2 months ago there was a visible gap with fluid inside so this is a huge improvement.
In simple terms, the cerclage isn't having to work too hard at this point to keep Baby Carly in.
Dr. R. attributes my activity level (or lack thereof) as a major contributor to this progress. It was nice to hear that all of my sitting around on my ass is working!
What was also nice to hear is that I'm not the only one in this body gaining weight. Today Baby Carly weighs approx. 1 lb 13 oz., compared to just 15 oz. a month ago.
She is also in the 54% percentile, which I'm told means that her body measurements, weight, etc. are 4% above average. That sounds good ... a little bit above average, but not too much. We want her to be a healthy size, but not necessarily massive, for obvious reasons.
They did comment that her legs look long suggesting that she will be tall, just like both her parents.
My next appointment with Dr. R. is scheduled for Feb. 12.
Tomorrow, I have to go see Dr. C. and step on that @*&! scale of his.
