Follow up ultrasound was on Friday. They got clear shots of everything and he looks perfect. His heart is great and he has long legs! He is at 76% in weight. The OB at the office said he is 90% sure my placenta will move in time to do a vaginal delivery but he thinks we will probably have 2 more follow up ultrasounds to verify. I meet with my Dr on Thursday, so we will see if he agrees and if he will lift any restrictions ;)

Miss Anything? 

 Sushi and intercourse haha

Movement: 

 Yes! He is very active! Wiggling and kicking all the time. Yesterday he kept elbowing the US camera haha

Looking forward to:My dr appt on Thursday, finishing cleaning out his room. I have gotten a ton of work done in the last few weeks so I just need to finish =) I ordered his crib, some swaddle blankets and clothes and of course his own bunny! It will be really fun to get his room put together once they all arrive and I finish up the clean up project.

20 weeks and feeling GREAT!

Half way Baby! I am feeling great and we had an amazing time on our trip! I am updating this post because the day after my original post, Fri, March 3rd, I got a call from my doctor's office with the results from my ultrasound that I had Wed, March 1st. First, she said that everything looks great with the baby. They couldn't see his whole heart so they need to do a follow up ultrasound just to make sure everything is clear. Then, she said that I have placenta previa, which means my placenta is covering my cervix. So, I will be having a c-section and we can not have any intercourse through the rest of the pregnancy. I also can not do any weight training more than 30 lbs. We scheduled an ultrasound in 3 weeks and at that point they will check it again as well as his heart. They will also determine if I have full previa, where the placenta is attached on both sides of the cervix. If this is the case, then they will watch me very closely and the c-section will be the only option. If by some chance, my placenta moves away from my cervix, there is a very small chance that I can do a vaginal birth again. They don't seem to think this is very likely. I had a low-lying placenta with Jolie also but my doctor didn't really think I would end up with a C-section and I didn't. This time my new doctor is a lot more concerned, hence the restrictions. My cousin, Laraine, has the same thing! And it only occurs in 5% of pregnancies. As her pregnancy has progressed her restrictions have just increased and she also found out last week that she is absolutely having a C-section. She is 29 weeks along. She will have another ultrasound in 5 weeks and they will begin steroid shots to help the baby's lungs develop. Then, she will have her C-section between 36 and 38 weeks. So if my pregnancy progresses similarly to hers, we may end up with a June baby after all haha. I feel worried and it sucks that there is literally nothing that I can do for the next 3 1/2 months to change any of the outcomes.
