It's A...!

BOY! I was completely wrong! I was convinced we were having a girl, but there you have it! Harrison will have a little brother and it will be excellent!

We'll be welcoming Samuel Thomas (Sam) in March 2015.

Harrison was allowed to come to the ultrasound and see his little brother. Little brother was not shy, was quick to let us know he was a boy and then kept wiggling throughout the entire appointment. Kid does not sit still. Harrison didn't stay the whole time, but left with my mom so we could finish up our 70 minute appointment and then go to the follow up.

The baby is developing well, no concerns where he is. All ten fingers and ten toes.

When the doctor came in to talk to us, this is the first thing she said. But she had "But" face. Currently, I have what's called Marginal Placenta Previa, which means my placenta is sitting too low in my uterus, partially in the way of the cervix and could cause complications later on (especially for delivery). It's fairly common and most of the time, it resolves itself and the placenta will move out of the way as the uterus expands, so it's not an immediate concern. I do have to go in again in 4 weeks for another ultrasound to see if it's starting to resolve. I cannot do any heavy lifting (including Harrison) and just have to be careful and watch for any spotting. If it doesn't move, I could end up on bed rest in the third trimester and be scheduled for a c-section. My status: try to stay relaxed and calm. Which I am, but I really do have to watch how much energy I am exerting. 

At least now I can breathe a sigh of relief just knowing that we're having a boy. I was getting so anxious just not knowing. I NEEDED TO KNOW! So excited for Monkey #2! 

Is it March yet?
