22 Week Specialist Appointment - It's a tear jerker, sorry...

So we went in today and did an ultrasound. First thing the tech checked was the baby and the fluid. She said everything looked really good, and he was even showing us his goods, a lot! Hope that doesn't become a habit later in life... yikes. Lock up your daughters ladies. Anyway, after that she measured the cervix. When the doc came back in he said that the cervix was back up to 4cm so I didn't have to get the stitch done today. But of course we'll still continue to monitor it closely, so next appointment is in 2 weeks on Jan. 6th.

Today is a pretty hard day for me though. Since my crossover days are the same (Tuesdays), I am exactly at the point where I was when I started cramping and going into premature labor. It was a Friday and I was 22 weeks and 3 days (like I am today). I lost him on that Sunday (22 weeks and 5 days). This whole weekend will probably be rough, but at least I have to work this weekend so it'll help me get through it if I keep busy. I still miss my baby boy so much... thank God I have another chance. This new little guy in my belly just keeps me going. Before him I still broke down a lot and cried in the middle of the night. I don't think anyone will ever know how special this baby is to me and how much I will love him, because he saved me. I think he knew I needed him and he chose me to give him a life.

I just can't wait for the day he arrives... Can it be April 28th yet?
