The family (Ryan, haylee and I) went to the OB doctor today thinking it was just another routine visit. We heard the baby's heart beat, 146 beats per minute, which is much lower than any of Haylee's. So if you believe in those gender myths it says that if the heart beat is slower it means it's a boy. Also found out that I' m actually 15 weeks, and not 14 like I thought. So some where I missed a week, I guess that happens when your busy with school and a toddler!
At check out we were told we had to get another ultrasound, because they needed to see if their was fulid at the back of the baby's brain, another indicator of Downs or other deficits . So we waited for an hour and finally got in to see that the baby's brain/head was fine. However, it was determined that my placenta previa is a full coverage and not partial. The odds are still good it will go away on it's own.
The baby had more pictures taken, and if my scanner was working I would show you all of them up to date. This time the baby was facing my back, as if to say "I'm tired of taking pictures, just leave me alone." These of course are my same sentiments! I think this is the most documented baby ever!! No worries about taking pictures of the pregnancy from the outside, we will have several of him/her from the inside!
We expect to have at least 2 more ultrasounds, and at $312 out of pocket because we don't have maternity coverage, it's going to be a really tight budget!
To sum up the baby is still ok! I have the next ultrasound at 20 weeks. At that point we will determine the gender, and if the baby is still healthy!
So until then, blessings to all!
