I am happy to say that I had my first dr. visit that included only good news!! During the ultrasound everything looked wonderful. All of the measurements that they took were right on target for 20 weeks. So, apparently she is growing and developing perfectly. The placenta has moved up some and is no longer considered "low lying" or placenta previa. Whew! Who knew a placenta could be so much darn trouble???
I go see the specialist in a couple of weeks to make sure he agrees that everything looks great. If he does say all is well, then my dr. might start lifting restrictions. Yay! I"m sure Larry will be happ
iest. Just in time for Christmas! :)Here is a picture from the ultrasound. I know it isn't an incredibly clear picture, but work with me...This is her profile(top of her head to the left) and she has her leg up in the air bent at the knee. Her knee is up near her face, practically touching her nose. Hopefully you can see it....
I did have an exciting pregnany milestone this week- buying my first pair of maternity pants. I have been lucky that I could wear my regular pants until about week 18. At that point I needed a bella band (a band you wear over the top of your pants if they fit everywhere except the waist and you cant button them). This was a great solution for about 2 weeks. Something must have changed (no need to guess what changed) b/c a few days ago the bella band was just more frustrating than it was worth. I decided it was time to suck it up, accept that I have a gut, and go to Target to get one pair of maternity pants to get me through work the next day. Well, let me tell you- maternity pants are the best things on the planet. You really should get a pair- pregnant or not! :) Seriously, maternity pants are so comfortable and alleviates that frustrating bella band. If only jeans with an elastic top could be in style.... :) Everyone said- once you wear maternity pants you wont want to wear anything else. Well, its true- believe the hype!
