Baby Update:: 24 weeks





Yesterday we had our OB appt. and ultra sound scan to check on the location of the placenta again. Our baby girl looked wonderful. She was SO cute wiggling and moving her mouth during the scan. Unfortunately, the placenta was still very low with the bottom of it resting right over the cervix. It had moved up a little (which is to be expected as the uterus grows), but not enough. The doctor was very pleased to hear that I had not had any spotting or full bleeding. I didn't start having bleeding last time until I was 26 weeks (I think) along, though. So, this really didn't comfort me much. It's just a waiting game now. Fun, right? It's always fun to feel like you're waiting for the other shoe to drop. Blech. 
My next OB appointment and scan is in a month. If the placenta is still low we will probably meet with the same specialist we saw last time. He will be the one to determine how deep the implantation of the placenta is on/into the uterine wall. Until then we pray and wait. 
Thank you SO much for your prayers for the baby and I that you have already offered for us. I'm going to beg more prayers from you. Please. 
Thank you in advance and may God bless you.
