June Bug Update

So this would be my second attempt at this post since my intelligent self just managed to loose the entire thing booo:

We are officially 16 weeks pregnant and our little June Bug has thus far been giving us quite a few gray hairs!

We had our first appointment and heard the hearbeat in November and completed the FNL(neuchal translucency scan) at 14 weeks (Dec 2nd). Baby looked great and is measuring a few days ahead of schedule, also the Tech took a guess and thinks we have a little lady brewing in there.

Monday Dec 15th we had our 16 week appointment and spoke to the doctor about some cramping and pain i've been concerned about, she mentioned that with my history of pre-term labor it would be best to keep off of my feet. How to acomplish this with a 15 month old little boy is beyond me but i sure will do my best.

Thursday Dec 18th we had a scare, some bleeding sent us over to HMU to find that my placenta is directly over my cervix. This isn't too big of a deal and since it is early yet there is a great chance it will move up in time for a normal delivery. YAY! I did have some issues with the practice i've been seeing and have decided to forgo my appointment on Jan 12 and see the OB that delivered both Aiden and I. I will be seeing Dr. A on the 6th of January.

Saturday Dec 20th (my birthday!) found us back in the Er, this time HN to see Dr A for another bleeding episode. This sonogram revealed that i not only have placenta previa, the placenta is also beginning to seperate from the uterine wall in one corner. After a chat with the Dr we are hoping that with taking it easy and keeping well hydrated we will be able to keep the placenta in place until our little peanut is at least 26 weeks or "viable". We are trying to emotionally prepare ourselves for a preemie after hopes for a problem-free pregnancy and birth but again all our hopes center around our little angel growing strong.

On a happier note the ultrasound they did last night still shows nothing between those little leggies so all signs still point to a girl. We will find out more on the 6th and ask that you kindly keep our little darling in your prayers!
