Released for MFM (high risk Dr)

Thursday I went to see my high risk dr for the last time. He said my cervix looked great and doesn't see any reason to see me anymore. He said we should have a December baby and there is no reason we shouldn't be able to have more children if we want. I'm excited about this release, but also a little scared. It was nice getting those bi-weekly ultrasounds. I just have to have faith that all will work out....and it will!!

My baby is 3

Well Tessa turned 3 on Monday. She woke up yesterday singing "Happy Birdday Tessa, Happy Birdday Tessa, Happy Birdday Tes sa a, Happy Birdday Tessa". It was so cute and she sang it all day! I didn't have a party for her this year for fear I would be in the hospital. That and the added stress of a party. Her Nana and Gramps (Michael's parents) came down to see her on Saturday. The gave her a barbie bicycle. She has been all about that thing. She doesn't know how to pedal it...so she just sits on it and says "It don't work". Every now and then we will push her around the living room or kitchen. We haven't figured out what to do with it yet. She doesn't really have anywhere to ride it...living in a townhouse.

Since Sunday was my dad's b'day. The whole family got together and went to hear him preach. We haven't done that in years. I believe we truly made his day. We also celebrated his b'day and Tessa's b'day that afternoon. We got her a princess cupcake cake and him a Bama cookie cake. The princess cake had a tiara and wand on it. Tessa has not taken the tiara off except to sleep and calls herself "Queen Tessa".

We went for her 3 year old check up today. Tessa is doing great! She is still a shorty in the 5-10th percentile (35.5" tall), but is caught up in weight at the 50th percentile (31.8 lbs).

Baby Jenna seems to be growing fine. She has really been kicking lately. Last night Michael had his hand on my stomach and it felt like she flipped. We go to the high risk dr on Thursday. Hopefully everything will still look good with my cervix and we will be smooth sailing until December.

Hopefully I am out of the woods...

I went to see the high risk doc today and he said everything looks great! Cervix is holding steady!! He said "Stacy I have some bad news for you...it looks like you are going to be pregnant for a long time". I was like YEA!! He said, "Most women don't tell me yea when I give them news like this". I told him that given my history I would take it!! He even told me there isn't any reason why I shouldn't be able to make it to at least 36 wks. He also said he wouldn't be surprised if I made it past my due date and had to be induced!! HA!

They also took a look at the baby's heart and said everything looked great there too!! They kept having to chase her down. She has been so active the past few days. Last night I thought she had a tennis match going on in there. She kept me up until after 3am. Everytime I got comfy she would start another game...hehehe. I wouldn't trade it though!!

As for Tessa we moved her to a twin bed this past Saturday and she is doing wonderful. She loves her "big girl" bed!! Potty training is still a work in progress. One day she will do great then the next 3 days she does horrible! Hopefully one day it will click!
