Baby Nelson at 16 weeks

Today we had another ultrasound and the baby had another photo session as you can see. I have to go to the doctor every 2 weeks until 24 weeks .From 12-24 weeks I go every two weeks, and from 24 to 35 weeks it's every week .At 35 weeks to 40 weeks I'm not actually sure yet ????. That's almost 15 visits to the doctors!!!!WOW! Its OK with me as long as they don't want to take my blood (then we might have problems lol).The reason I have so many ultrasounds is because I had Leap operation when I was 19 yrs old. A Leap operation is designed to remove cancer cells that one has on their cervix. At the time of the surgery they actually have to remove a part of my cervix to get rid of all of the potential cancer cells. They do these ultrasounds to determine how long my cervix is . If my cervix begins to shorten then I will have to have a spinal block and a cervical cerclage (a stitch). This stitch will have to stay in until the baby is born . GOD had blessed me with an adequate cervical length so far, and I pray it stays that way............Cause I really dislike needles.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

We also think that we know the sex of the baby (80% sure). The tech told us today cause she got a good shot of the little one (not shy by the way). She told us not to go out and buy all _____ stuff cause she wants to be 100% sure. Stay tuned and we should know in 2 weeks !!! I can barley contain myself!!!!
