Another 20 week update

Just because I went to my OB today - the appt was very reassuring.

Weight is back up -- gained the weight I lost and 2 lbs, so I'm not doing too bad this time.   Just gotta watch it -- not that I want to diet, but I suppose that I can cut back on the candy and sweets -- gives me heartburn anyway!  
I've gained about 7 lbs so far.   Not too terrible.

Heartbeat was good -- Lily even punched the doppler a few times for good measure.   Blood pressure was good and size is good, so everything is coming up Milhouse!  

Talked about the placenta previa a bit;  he agrees that if Dr. Herrmann thinks it will resolve, then it will.  So, I think that we will probably go have a repeat ultrasound somewhere between 32-36 weeks to make sure the placenta is out of the way.   OF COURSE, none of this really matters, as I'm having the c section anyway, but it will also be a good chance to make sure that Lily is growing appropriately -- which I also asked about.   Ryan was really almost off the growth charts at birth for weight and that was sort of troubling to me.  But, there's nothing that I can do about it, so it is what it is.  But, having a growth check with Lily will make me feel better about leaving her in there.   If she's going to do better on the outside (as Ryan did), then she should come out when it's safe for her.   Or something like that.

The other reassuring thing that Dr. Stadler said was this:   Well, if Dr. Herrmann said it was a girl, he's never wrong.   lol   sweet.   I have fears.   :)    But, he was very crushed that Dr. H is retiring and it's something to do with his health -- he's not retiring because it's time.   Good doctors don't ever retire, I think.   They practice medicine until they can't physically do it anymore.   And I'm said, because the office was so close to home and he had mad memory skillz.   Crazy German Memory.   haha;  He was the last private ultrasound guy in the city too, and a geneticist to boot, so he knew it all.  It's very sad.   I almost hope that he will recover enough that he can keep doing some of it in the future.  

So, I'm definitely thinking pink more positively now -- I don't feel worried that all of a sudden "she" will be a "he".   Not that it would be a big deal, but that would be a lot of effort wasted!   haha   I'm so lazy.

Now, the big task is to start moving crap around the house, so things end up where they are supposed to be -- first off, all the crap in the back room needs to find a home upstairs.   Then, we will be in buisness.
