Pictures and Update on Ultrasound

I didn't realize how many good pictures I had taken and not downloaded until today.  

Here is a picture of Dave with the boys:

I watched Haidyn about a week ago and Samuel was dying to hold her.  I got a couple of really cute pictures.

Now to the exciting part about our ultra sound today.  Here is a picture of the little babies face.  

The baby looked great.  I am exactly on schedule.  The baby measured exactly 19 weeks and 5 days.  The due date has not changed from October 7th.  The baby weighed 11 ounces and the heartbeat was 155 beats per minute.

I think we are having another boy, but Dave thinks it is a girl.  We have a few more months to go to find out.

So as I said everything looks great with the baby, but the ultrasound showed that my placenta is close to my cervix.  They want the placenta to be at least 2 cm away from the cervix and mine is a little under 2 cm.  I have what is called a low-lying placenta.  Since I am only 20 weeks, there is a good possibility that as my uterus grows the placenta will move up and there will not be a problem.  I have a doctor's appointment on the 31st and we will probably talk about all the different scenarios.  If the placenta doesn't move and gets closer to the cervix I will be diagnosed with placenta previa and there are lots of complications that may occur and I will have to really start preparing myself for a C-Section which is normally the only option.

There are lots of things that are up in the air at this point.  In a few weeks after talking to my doctor I will have a better idea of what is going on.  I am just relieved that the baby looks great and I am feeling overall great.

That's the update.
