It's Official

This morning was the anatomy scan. I was supposed to have it done between weeks 20 and 22 but because of our little health insurance snafu I scheduled it for week 23. Saving money any way I can! So this morning we traveled the 30 minutes to the perinatal office and had the scan.

They started at the cervix and saw that I have Placenta Previa which essentially means the placenta is blocking the baby exit. SO, in 5 weeks we will go back and see if it's moved with the uterus growing and if it hasn't we will be having a c-section. I'm surprisingly ok with that news. My major concern was baby. I wanted it to be healthy and I can deal with a c-section. As I said earlier to my mom, "I can be a princess even longer." So I will be taking it easy still until we find out more. I haven't had any bleeding since the hemorrhage so maybe it'll just sit there and not cause any other problems.

Then they moved onto baby. Starting at the head they measured the head size and brain. They looked at the face and there is no cleft lip and the nose and mouth looks good. Moving down her heart has four chambers, stomach is good, kidneys have blood flowing to both of them and her bladder is there. The spine looks perfect and we got to see the fingers and toes. Her second toe is longer than her big toe which is a Frazee trait and, coincidentally enough, Christian's toe is like that too. Her hands were open which they said was a good sign and she is super limber because one of her legs was up by her head.

She weighs in around one pound and moves lots and lots.

We are so very excited and can't wait for our LITTLE GIRL to get here. It was verified today. Bring on the pink dresses and bows!

Looking straight onto her face.


Second toe longer than big toe.
