Ultrasound

So these are the best pictures that we got of baby k today. there was no cooperation on baby k's part at all. I stood up, i went to the bathroom, i poked my belly, i begged baby k, i went to the bathroom again...but nope. Baby k was not having it, just stayed were he/she wanted to and didn't give us any straight on or nice profile shot. But that is okay i still love my baby k. And whenever the tech was doing anything by the legs both grant and i looked away, my mom was watching the screen, but she doesn't know what she is looking at, i even asked her, but she said "who knows." So Baby K weighs 11oz, i don't think she gave us the length. and the heartbeat was 145 bpm so perfect! And gender is still unknown!!! also check out on the right side of my blog for the baby k guessing game. www.bebepool.com/agkolbe and guess away!

I guess the only thing is that they are making me come back in 8 weeks for another ultrasound. Nothing too major, but the tech said that my placenta was slightly covering my cervix. technical term posterior placenta previa. a lot of the time it may happen early on in pregnancy and then "move" where it is supposed to by the next time they look at the positioning. so hopefully at the 28 week ultrasound they will be able to tell me that everything looks perfect, and if not they will keep a close eye on it as i get closer to the due date. I know i am only 2o weeks and a lot can change in that time, but i like to know my options. Pretty much if my placenta decides to stay where it is, then i have to have a scheduled c-section, which if that is my only option then fine, but i would prefer to do it naturally. But whatever is the safest for the baby then i don't care, sign me up.

I am going to try and not worry about it so much, and just put my trust in god that everything is taken care of, and if it comes down to it and nothing changes, then baby k will be c-section. and hopefully at the next ultrasound (sept 15) baby k will decide to cooperate and i can get those awww...ohhhh... pictures that everyone loves to see :)

another thing is that i still have not gained any weight. still the same as the day i found out i was pregnant. my dr isn't worried about that and claims i should only gain 15-20 lbs during the pregnancy. well whatever i gain i gain. but like everything else i know i am only 20 weeks, and i have another 20 weeks to gain away :)

other than that great day. Baby k is still kicking away like crazy, on the ultrasound he/she was kicking away. I can't explain how amazing that feeling is. every time i feel a kick/punch i giggle out loud or smile. i can't believe the power that god has to make that little cell turn into a baby....really wow! and every time i feel that kick, i thank god that i was lucky enough to become pregnant as fast as we did, and that if all i have to worry about is maybe having a c-section, then so be it. all the power is in his hands, and i will do what i have to, to see our baby happy and healthy in december.

have a great night everyone and talk to you soon. i will try and put up my belly pic on thursday which is my official 20 week mark....half way already, where did that time go?
