It's a GIRL!! We are so excited! She showed us the "goods" immediately and was not shy at all! She was wiggling around like crazy and looks absolutely perfect! Now for the fun to begin! Brad took the pics to work with him so I'll post some tonight. She's so beautiful!
Unfortunately, this pregnancy was not destined to be complication free. I have a complete placenta previa. That means that the placenta is completely covering my cervix which automatically makes this a high risk pregnancy, so I'm being sent off the Perinatal specialist for sonograms every 4 weeks to see what the placenta's position is. I go for my first one on Sept 28. They can sometimes move up and away from the cervix as the uterus grows, and I was told that the majority do move, so we're praying that happens. If not, it will mean an automatic C-section, possible early delivery and bedrest. It looked like the placenta is posterior which means that it is growing up the back of the uterus with the bottom covering the cervix so in that position, we have a greater chance of it moving up the back of my uterus. So far I haven't had any bleeding or spotting or anything, but it is apparently very common with previas, especially in the third trimester so I have to be very careful and watch out for that and may wind up in the hospital for my bedrest. I've been put on pelvic rest and I'm going to be taking it easy from now on. I've read a few articles and have seen some scary stuff in there (worst case scenario stuff) and I'll admit, I'm pretty freaked out about it. I would appreciate any prayers!
