Another ultrasound

Had another u/s (cervical length check) today.  Seemed to go well, but still have to go back in 2 weeks.  I was hoping this was my last one, but I get at least one more.

I will say that I enjoyed seeing baby "B" today.  He is getting so big and is really looking like a baby!  He weighed in at 1lb 6oz and was very wiggly.

Here is a side by side of DS #1 and DS #2.  I think they do look pretty similar!

DH thinks they have "the same nose".  I see the same mouth as well!

21w2d u/s and cervical length check

Went in yesterday for another u/s.  Everything looked great.  Baby boy is still definately a boy and seems healthy and wiggly.  He is weighing in at a big 1lb 1oz!  So weird to think of this little baby growing and growing, since I never thought I'd ever get this far again.

The cervical length check seemed to go well also.  I didn't get a average reading, but everything I was seeing on the screen was 4 cm - 4.7 cm.  I am really happy with that.  I go in for an appt. with Dr. F. on Monday (22w2d) and only have ONE more follow-up u/s and cervical check.  If everything looks fine at the u/s @ 23w2d...I will be set free!
