20 Week Ultrasound and Doc Appt

Well everything is looking decent right now!! My cervix is now at 30mm so still pretty low, but not short now. I am still to not exercise the rest of the pregnancy and take it as easy as possible. I will be rechecked on June 25th! I am so happy that everything is stable there right now and that the baby is perfectly healthy!!

Baby has short legs though ;) Takes after Logan, Kenna, myself and Billy I guess, hahaha! And I caved and found out the sex! I wanted to know so I had less work to do going through clothes, etc... and knowing what I may still need since I am not allowed to do as much this pregnancy. I figured it would be easier on me physically and budget wise!!

So we are having...................Another baby Boy!!!!!! Yay!!! Logan and Kenna are going to have a little brother! I am so excited! I am 99% sure about his name, we are pretty solid on Ian Arthur! I can't wait to meet little Ian, but he better bake until full term :)

Kenna at first kept saying she "didn't want an Ian, wanted an Annika" but she is coming around :) She now says baby Ian is in mommy's belly and she gives him kisses! Logan is still so young he doesn't understand, but I know he will be thrilled to have a brother!

Now we just have to switch the kids rooms around, Kenna is going to take Logan's because it is smaller and we will have her pick out a really nice big girl bed and everything to decorate it. And Logan & Ian will share the larger bedroom until we move into a bigger house, which could be soon or a long time from now, not sure. It all depends on a lot of different circumstances! But it will be fun to watch Kenna help decorate her room! And I will have her help with the boy's room!
It is funny because I really thought this baby was a girl, but then again I also thought Kenna was a boy and Logan was a girl, so I am starting to believe that I have no clue when it comes to guessing, even with mother's intuition! :)

I am leaving for Texas with my mom soon! We are heading to see my Nana in San Antonio for a couple weeks! It is going to be a blast! I will update again as soon as I can!

Problems with the pregnancy :(

Well I am having some issues already with this pregnancy, I really hope they even out though and don't get any worse. I had cervical issues in pregnancy with Kenna and probably Logan as well (bad insurance with him so it wasn't checked). Well I had some spotting yesterday at 17w2d and they did an ultrasound to check my cervix. It is short already. It is at 26.8mm, normal is 30mm or above. With Kenna at this stage it was 35mm and went to 22mm by 28 weeks, so I am just praying that it stays at 26.8 mm or gets a little longer, which could happen. I am now to not exercise, do any heavy lifting or housework, etc... for a minimum of 6 weeks and probably no exercise except maybe minor things for the rest of the pregnancy. I just really hope that my exercising is what caused my cervix to shorten now, because if it did that means I am pretty safe as long as I stay on my butt as much as possible. I am just so worried. I am only 17w3d today and that just feels so far from when the baby would be safe to come into the world. So I am being as easy on myself as I can with a 2 and a 1 year old and just keeping everything crossed that I get good news at my next ultrasound on May 20th!

Good news is baby looks great! Measuring perfectly with a hb of 152! And I am going to get many many peeks at him/her throughout this pregnancy!

Come on cervix of steel (as a friend put it recently!)
