One year ago today we found out our first IVF treatment didn't work. What a difference a year makes. Thinking back to last Christmas, I definitely wasn't myself and realize now how sad I was. I am so thankful for the gift we will be given in April, especially after hearing of the tragedy in CT. All of those families are in our prayers. I just couldn't imagine losing my child.
We have a lot to be thankful for this year! Can't forget that! Love to everyone!
I went back to see my OB again today. My doctor said everything was right on track. We discussed the placenta previa and she said it is highly unlikely that my placenta will move because it is a complete previa. I almost started crying in the exam room. I really don't want to have a c-section. Nothing with this pregnancy can be easy :( I know c-sections aren't the end of the world, but placenta previa can cause lots of complications later in the pregnancy. Please, please pray that everything is o.k. I will have my next ultrasound at 32 weeks, hope the time goes quickly!
I definitely have more energy these days but have been getting horrible nosebleeds all week :( My doctor said if they continue, I might have to see an ENT. I am hoping they end soon!!!
My next appt is Jan 15! I will have my glucose test then, woohoo! Let's hope I don't have gestational diabetes too.
We were so excited to have our 20 week ultrasound yesterday! It was great to be able to see our baby and see that everything is looking good so far! The baby weighs 12 oz! The u/s tech said our baby was very cooperative! It was so cute to see all of his/her little parts. We got a great picture of one of the feet, so sweet! I will post pics from my phone later! The only negative is that the placenta is completely covering my cervix right now. So we need to pray that it moves as my uterus grows because I don't want to have to have a c-section. The doctor thought I had a good chance of it moving! I will go back at 32 weeks for another ultrasound so that will be exciting!
We did find out the gender but are waiting to share the news in our Christmas card! We are very excited to welcome the newest Alsman though :)
