We have some more Kymani news and new ultrasound pics! This is Kymani Lyrique Rowell at 29 wks, 3 days gestation. So, we are obviously still pregnant and that's a good thing. She needs to cook a bit longer!

She weighs in at 2 lbs and 14 oz, which is almost three pounds and a little ahead of the average weight at this stage. Everything looks good.
Ideally, we want her to stay put for as long as possible. But she has a high chance of survival if she decides to come early. Still no contractions, which is good. She only has a low amount of fluid surrounding her because of my water breaking.

They'll just continue to monitor us both until labor starts and she comes. Keep sending positive thoughts that she stays inside until at least 34 weeks. It happens, but the usual in these instances is 1-10 days after the water breaks.
So it could be sooner. We want it to be later, but at least now we do know that if it's sooner, she is very likely to be okay. She will spend time in the NICU if early, which is normal. But they can't estimate how long until she's here and we just see how it goes then.
It's the same with the labor. There's no way to estimate an exact time it will happen. Better to just rest, hope she stays in longer, and just go with the flow. It's all a waiting game.
