Best Appointment Yet!

Yesterday we had an ultrasound and then an appt. The ultrasound was to determine where my placenta is to see if a c-section would be needed. We went in and of course were happy to get to see our little precious guy and how he has grown and were pleasantly surprised when the tech decided to play around a bit w/ the 4D pictures. It was amazing!!! We were able to find out that He likes to suck his thumb and the back of his hand, he has chubby cheeks and it looks like maybe dimples, he has his daddy's lips, and he has LOTS of hair! My suffering from heartburn is not in vain ;-). The tech gave us some pictures, which she did not have to do and we are very grateful.
After taking some measurements the doc decided to rule my condition low lying placenta instead of marginal placenta previa. This is a blessing b/c it means that I can try for a natural vaginal delivery. We still need to be very cautious w/ the amount of bleeding. The doc said that she has seen women who are 4 cm dilated and not progressing much but have a lot of bleeding and have to go in for an emergency cesarean and she has also seen women who progress to 9cm quickly and the amount of blood loss is not too much before the mother is able to push the baby out. Basically they will keep a close eye on me and I need to be prepared for either outcome.
