WOOHOO!!! I went to the doctor yesterday to get my cervix meausred again. Last week it was 1.2cm. This week it measured 1.3cm and after about 30 seconds it was 1.8cm YAY!!! The doctor was very happy that it hasn't gotten any worse and so was I.
We also did our monthly measurements of the kido. She is currently estimated to weigh in at 3 lbs. and 10oz. That's about the same size Allie was at this point. I was measured at 30 weeks 1 day and Allie was born at 30 weeks 3 days and weighed 3 lbs. 8 oz. The doctor said she thinks the baby will be around 8 lbs. when she is born.
The sonographer showed us our little girl using the 4D ultrasound again. She is just too cute!!! We got some great pictures of her again. Allie thought it was really neat seeing the baby on the big screen.
Of course, I'm still on bed rest. I don't have to go back to the high risk doctors for 2 weeks. I'm soo happy my cervix is holding and isn't shrinking away.

1.2 cm and counting
I went for my weekly exam with the high risk specialists today and also visited my OB for my monthly check up. Well, they measured my cervix again and it's gone down to 1.2 cm. Last week it was 1.9cm and before that it was 2.8 cm. If it is below 1.5cm there is a greater risk of delivering early. This means bed rest continues and I have to be careful and really stay down as much as possible. The doctor really wants to get at least another month out of me before I deliver. I really want to make it to June.
They also did another fetal fibronectin test and the results came back negative. A negative fetal fibronectin test gives a more than 95% likelihood of remaining undelivered for the next 2 weeks. I was very happy to hear the nurse say negative when she called.
When I had my ultrasound I also got to see my little girl using the 4D technology. She is sooo adorable and looks a lot like her big sister Allie. They have the same cute little nose and perfect chin. Allie goes with me to all of my appointments and was amazed at the pictures we got of her baby sister. She kept pointing and saying baby sister. I'll have to have Will scan them so I can post the pictures for you guys to see.
Bed rest... it's been over 3 weeks now. It's very boring and restricting. I really hate not being able to get up to do the dishes or do a load of laundry. I sincerely hope that I'm able to take care of some things before our little girl arrives.
