Lillian Elise (20 weeks)

It's a girl!   Think about all the pink stuff!!!   :)

So, I get to have my Lily this time.

I'm going to be honest about it -- it's a lot like starting over from scratch.   All I know is boys.   26 months of boy, boy, boy.   I'm comfortable with that.   This is will way out the comfy zone for me.   But, that's ok -- gotta adapt!

She was looking great -- no problems that the doctor saw, and she was measuring pretty much right on time.   So, those are all good things.

I, however, continue to cause trouble.   I have placenta previa this time -- meaning my placenta is in the wrong spot, essentially.   It should be closer to the top and it's pretty low right now.   The doctor thought it would resolve itself by the end, but I am fairly sure that I will need another ultrasound sometime in the 28-32 week range.   It can be serious, because it involves third trimester bleeding, but luckily, I have had none so far.  Let's keep it that way.  But, if it doesn't resolve and there is bleeding, it can lead to bed rest and hospitalization and early delivery and all that jazz.   I am just hoping things stay normal.

But, my next doc appt is on Thursday, so I guess I will find out more at that point.   It would help to get the ultrasound report, because those always tell me stuff that I didn't hear during the appt!   :)  Such as:  at the 13 week ultrasound, I didn't even hear him say that my placenta was anterior.  

I do feel some kicking, but it's not a whole lot -- that placenta is in the way and it's a big padded cushion.   So, I continue to wait to feel the serious kicks.   She is also breech right now -- head up -- so, most of the kicks are way down by my hip.

I wish I had more to say, but by this time of night -- I'm beat!   haha

I do have 30% off to Kohl's this week, so I might be making a few purchases.   :)   In pink, of course.
