Since they couldn't get a good shot of the spine last time I get another ultrasound today! Baby monkey is head down and measuring about 20 weeks...a little behind, but both the tech and Dr. Lile said that was ok. Infact he said everything looks wonderful. My belly is also measuring about 20 weeks. The quad screen for Downs and Spina Bifida also came back normal.I've finally gained some weight, 8 lbs by the scale at the Dr's office. But I had to pee and I'd been up all night in preparation for my week of night shifts. So since they didn't get a morning weight don't think I've quite gained that much.
AND!!!!!! The best part: Dr Lile said that despite the septum in my uterus it is expanding and ballooning out almost normally!! So instead of having only 1/2 the normal amount of space, Monkey has almost a full uterus to grow in!!! He seemed so pleased by this unexpected miracle, as am I of course! I'm not completely off the "high risk for pre-term labor" radar, but What wonderful news! Praise the LORD!!!!
Next appointment Jan 5. I asked today if they would give me the glucose drink to take home with me at my next appointment so I can drink it before coming in for my 28 week appointment and avoid waiting around for an hour with the nasty orange glucose drink flavor in my mouth. So YAY!
Look at that little nose...It's just like daddy's.

I found this blog from your post in the Orthodox group on Ravelry. I wanted to tell you that I'm very glad that everythihg is going well, and that I pray for you and Monkey every day. Keep up your good health and the baby's!
