Our new little peanut update

Our new little peanut is growing well we have had 3 ultrasounds in the last week. The first was for a nuchal fold test which screens for downs syndrome, neural tube defects and other problems so far this baby seems perfectly healthy. The other ultrasounds were for some unexplained bleeding I was having and yesterday they figured out the cause. It seems for now I have a placenta previa which means that my placenta has implanted over my cervix. It is still early in the pregnancy so it could move up which is what we are hoping for but if not I will be at risk for bleeding during this pregnancy and preterm delivery so for now all we can do is take it easy and see what happens in the next few weeks. The good thing is that this baby is super fun to watch on ultrasound always bouncing around (I guess the extra room makes that possible) and thumb sucking.

I can't believe how good your ultrasound pictures are! I'm jealous, we still don't have any good ones of this baby! Hopefully everything goes well with the previa.
