Update

I know I haven't updated in a while, but there has been a lot going on lately! I've been off work on "modified bedrest" for about 2 weeks per my doctor's instructions. I have been diagnosed with placenta previa, which basically means that my placenta is covering my cervix. The baby, however, is great! The heart rate is good and strong.


After my appointment today, I have good news! I will be able to go back to work starting on Wednesday. My doctor just wants to play it by ear and see how it goes for a while. Hopefully the little one won't use my placenta as a trampoline!


My next appointment is in 2 weeks, and it is then that I will have my big "anatomy" ultrasound. They will look at all of the vital organs and hopefully will be able to tell us what we're having! Matthew is really anxious to find out, and I don't think I'm going to make him wait until August! So, all in all, we're doing fine! I'll update after my next appointment. In the meantime, here is my belly picture for this week. I don't think it's changed too much. Matthew says it's just the black shirt. :)



15 weeks 5 days
