BOY! Hubby and I were a little shocked to find that out at the ultrasound. I didn't think I really knew one way or another, but I think we were both more expecting the baby to be a girl. It's still a little strange to me, but so is the whole actually-having-a-baby thing. The ultrasound went well and the baby is right on track, but I sort of have a problem. My placenta is not only too low, but it is also covering my cervix. The midwife sounded pretty confident that it would move, but if it doesn't, I would have to have a C-section. Boo. I am all about natural birth so that is obviously something I don't want. The problem with that condition is that the baby needs the placenta to survive birth and if it is covering the cervix that means you would to "birth" the placenta first, which means the baby couldn't survive. So I am having another ultrasound in 10 weeks to check it again. I'm surprisingly not that worried about it. Even if I end up having a C-section (the total opposite of my plan), I've been feeling okay about it. I just want what's best for the baby. But I am still hoping and praying I can give birth the natural way (I'm against using and drugs during labor too). I guess I will plan my ideal birth situation, but still be open to different possibilities too. Anyway, I've got some pics to share with you.
Cutie!
