Saw my midwife Mercedes today, for my apt after ultrasound. She said placenta is fine, the guy in labor and delivery read it wrong. It is not covering my cervix, so no c-section! But it is low, so she thinks bed rest is best to avoid any more bleeding scares. Baby looks healthy and right on track. So far I have gained only 5lbs this pregnancy, woohoo! Usually its more like 15 with the other two. So just 5lb is nice this time. Baby is in the 47% range. She said if my weight gain stays the same, baby should be 7lbs. Just like big brother Bryce was. So guess Caleb was our chunky butt so far at 8lbs 2 1/2oz. She's expecting a nice tall and skinny baby. Placenta is in the back of my uterus, so that helps me feel that baby more then most woman at 20wks. Plus its thinned out from the other 2 pregnancies.
All in all baby is healthy, heartbeat was 156 today. Nice and steady. So I'm happy. Now I'm going to sit back and take it easy on bed rest like she said to do. Just chill out at home, relaxing. Til I see the doctor again on November 14 at 9:45am. She also pointed out how next time she will have to torture me with nasty glucose testing, yuck! She actually goes down to labs every once in awhile and drinks some to see what the patients hate about it, lol.
Glad we're paying for a 3d ultrasound next month. Tricare will not want anymore ultrasounds done on me in less really bad happens. So next month will be our last one til baby comes out. Can't wait to make sure of baby sex and start plannig everything.
Well I need to go, going to get the boys to bed soon. Then relax with hubby on the couch.
