Here's the Plan

As of today I am 32 wks and 5 days. We are so excited for the next bundle of joy that will be joining our family in December. We are painting and getting things set up and ready and it's so fun. Hayden is just as excited for baby sis, so that makes me feel a little better about how she will react once baby is here, even though I'm sure we will have some issues. Doesn't everyone when a new sibling enters the scene? I guess we'll find out.

So, at my 20 wk ultrasound we got to see baby and everything is great with her, however we discovered that I have Placenta Previa, which means the placenta covers the opening of the cervix. In most cases, it usually corrects itself as the uterus gets bigger, so the doc wanted to check me again at 30 wks to see my progression. Unfortunately, it did not move enough to be able to have a safe, normal delivery. But fortunately it isn't completely covering the cervix, so it's just considered a low lying placenta. However, since it didn't move enough, I am scheduled for a c-section. Not the way I would want it, but it definitely has lots of pros, right?

So as of now, baby girl has a birth date planned for December 21. I have a due date of December 30, but they schedule the c-section a little earlier to avoid the chance of me going into labor naturally, which could be a little dangerous. It's nice knowing exactly when we are scheduled because now we can plan things, like mom and dad coming, for example. Since it's the 21st, I should be coming home from the hospital on Christmas Eve! Hooray! I can spend Christmas in my home with my family and new baby. I always joked that I didn't care when baby came as long as I could be home on Christmas Eve. haha So this works out nicely.
We truly are blessed in so many ways. I'm so excited to meet this little girl!

This is her at 30 wks 5 days

Now, only 6 weeks to go!
