Placenta Previa

Today we had our 20 week ultrasound, right when I saw the ultrasound technician I blurted "don't tell me what we're having"! We wanted to make sure it was known that we wanted this to be a suprise. The technician said she only gets about 2 of these requests per year, everyone wants to plan these days. The appt went well, saw many pictures of baby Wagner sucking thumb, lifting hands behind the head, all kinds of poses. The heartbeat was normal and all parts were there and developed! The baby is about a week behind on birthweight but likely will catch up. We decided not to find out what we're having, deciding to be able to celebrate this birth just the two of us that special day isn't that what God intends? It took us awhile to figure it out considering we found out with both Ezekiel and Emmalani. :)

I got a phonecall shortly after the ultrasound from the doctor saying that my placenta was completely covering my cervix. It's called a "Total Placenta Previa". Most of the time this usually seperated allowing the birth canal to be visible. In this case because it's completely over the cervix. IT's not looking like there will be any changes. I've been asked to be on pelvic rest and partial bed rest. Pretty much no hikes, long walks, exercise etc, (just get where I need to go) and rest in between. This isn't my personality and has made me think of ways to enjoy my rest time in more creative ways or ways that I wouldn't have explored had I been able to get out and enjoy my legs.

So for all of you that have legs and arms and can use them, do it for my sake. I miss being active.
Here is a picture of our little peach sucking their thumb.
Oh! And the only they said that was above average is the head! Another big head coming thru.
