Baby update!

Today is the day for blogging I guess. I have a lot more blogs in mind, but don't want to post ten in one day, so hopefully later this week...

I have had a few more ultrasounds, and our newest baby has continued to grow and appears to be doing very well. The SCH is still very much there, and I have continued to have occasional spotting. Baby is very active, but I'm not feeling a lot yet, which leads me to suspect my placenta is currently in front. This would be a good thing, actually, as I had an ultrasound at 14 weeks 1 day that showed it over my cervix, and without it moving as baby grew, that would be an automatic c-section, exactly what I do NOT want!

At that same ultrasound, I got a very good look at Baby, and am quite sure baby is a GIRL! We have not actually been told this yet, but after four girls I kind of know what I'm looking at. Tobiah was crushed at first, but I explained it meant that he continues to get to be special because he is the only boy. In his words "well, I guess it is a good thing, because if the baby was a boy, he'd steal all my boy attention!" Such a silly guy I have! I also reminded him how deeply he loves all three of his younger sisters, and promised him he would love his new sister just as much. He still longs for a brother, so perhaps next time. Maybe. ;)

I am hoping that by my 20 week ultrasound the SCH will have resolved, but it was still very, very evident at the last one. We shall see! My midwife has not made a big deal of it since seeing the last report, so I think I'm in the clear for a homebirth regardless, assuming no other complications come up.

I am definitely already nesting. I've been sick with one thing after another, though, and it's just been hard. Rich is home today as is our tradition for the kids' birthdays, but we decided to stay close to home today. Planning on a trip to the park soon, other than that I am hoping to get the house wiped back into shape.

Anyway, yay for more pink! And even more importantly, yay for a healthy baby! :)
