Second ultrasound check-up

Our tech did 3-D pictures for us, we were just expecting 2-D, such a nice surprise!
I'm in love!!! Look at that little button nose!!!
His hands were next to his face the whole time, we had to jiggle around a couple times to get some pictures without his hands in his face! It looks like he is praying! Perfect little lips! =)
32 weeks! He has been SO low this whole time! He is already head down... resting on my bladder. They measured him and he is 4 pounds 11 ounces which is in the 59th percentile!


This ultrasound was obviously an amazing experience, but it had a more serious purpose. At my 20 week ultrasound they found that my placenta is covering my cervix, which is called placenta previa. Today's ultrasound was to check and see if the placenta has moved away from my cervix or not. Unfortunately it moved, but not enough. This means that if it doesn't move completey in the next 4 weeks I will need to have a c-section by week 38. This has its positives and negatives, but I know no matter what happens it is for a purpose!


Things are starting to feel more real! From kicks and movements almost constantly, to swelling almost everywhere on my body, I am starting to realize that there is actually a baby in there! Good thing because ALL of these body changes would be one scary thing without a little baby to look forward to! =) I am looking forward to my baby showers as well, once again I think they will help me see that this is really happening and it is not just an amazing dream!


Our plan for the rest of this month is to finish up our birthing classes, start working on decorating the nursery, and spend some quality time together before the surreal/craziness begins!
