Bib update!

Here's our growing baby! This is a profile pic, looking at Bib from the side. His head is on the right, he's laying on his back, legs on the left, and his arm and little fist is in the middle. Poor guy looks so scrunched up in there! If you look at the top left, his feet are almost touching his hand! Amazing!



Josh and I went for our second ultrasound today! We got to see our little Bib again! The doctor says Bib is doing fine. He has a big head and belly! His heart rate has slowed considerably since the beginning of my pregnancy...it was 133 today, which follows the myth that we're having a boy. So, I still think we're having a boy...even though Josh isn't so sure anymore. :-) Josh said he didn't see what he thought he saw during our first ultrasound, and now realizes that it could be a girl! But after seeing the heart rate, he was back to thinking it was a boy! While the ultrasound was exciting (like always) we got some not-so-great news today too. The doctor says I have a low-lying placenta, which means the placenta is sitting on or near my cervix. Basically, with a low-lying placenta (also called placenta previa) there are possibilities of pre-term labor, and I would have to deliver the baby by C-section if the placenta doesn't rise before my due date. There is a possibility that as my uterus grows (as I get further along) the placenta will rise, and it will not be a concern. So, I will most likely be monitored closely, and will have another ultrasound somewhere in the near future. We have another appointment in two weeks, and will keep you updated as we learn more about the situation. For now, we are very grateful that Bib is doing okay, and we are praying that my placenta will rise as I get further along! Josh and I would like to ask for your prayers so that everything goes smoothly with my pregnancy, and that we will have good news about my placenta in the near future. We truly appreciate all your prayers and support!
