A big scare and a big heart!

Monday July 6th I gave Mommy and Daddy a big scare!

Mommy hasn't been feeling "right" for the past few days. Papa even noticed Mommy lost some weight. While at work, she noticed she was bleeding lightly and panicked both Mom and Papa. She rushed to the Doctor's office and they took her right in to check things out.

After checking around and a well needed ultrasound, Mom and Papa got to see me kicking and moving around. They were at ease that I was okay. The doctor was concerned because my placenta was looking a little lower than it should, but just wanted to double check.

When they were done looking at me the Doctor told Mommy and Papa that I had Placenta Previa (now don't go looking it up online, it will scare and worry you!!) There are different types and Mommy and I have completely placenta previa. Basically my placenta is completely covering the cervix and may present some problem later on as I grow. Please keep my Mom and I in your thoughts and prayers. We are both taking it easy but the doctor said right now there is no need for us to go on bed rest. We will find out more when we go back to the doctor in the beginning of August.

On the plus side, Mom and Papa received a ton of pictures of myself. They even got to find out what I was! Papa got a better view of the ultrasound screen and so he was able to peek and find out I was his first little GIRL. He was very excited and can't wait to meet me. Mom is super excited too, but just worried that I might be like she was as a teenager ;)

Check out my profile! I already look like my Papa!
