I had a doctor's appointment today, and things continue to look really great. Fluid was 12.7 cm, the baby is right on track developmentally (in fact, our little bug is slightly big for his/her gestation--no surprise), and my health is looking good as well. And today the doctor actually used the word "reseal!" The doctors are going to continue to monitor me closely until I hit the 24 week mark, and this is for two reasons: First, for our peace of mind. Second, from a physiological standpoint the scar tissue that forms on the amniotic sac will be at its strongest 10-12 weeks from the date of rupture. After the 24 week mark, if everything still appears to be going well, I'll be treated as a "normal" high-risk cerclage patient.
We got some photos of our little sweetheart today that took my breath away. They weren't able to make a disc for us this time, and this is a photo of a photo and not the highest quality, so I hope you can see what we saw. I wept when this image appeared on the screen--this baby looks just like his/her sister, Isobel.
What a sweet little blessing.
