it's a girl....FOR SURE THIS TIME!

Well...we went to the doctor yesterday and we have our confirmation. He said it is a girl for sure! I couldn't tell the girl parts but the doctor and Pat saw them just fine.

I also got to see the placenta's position. It has moved up quite a bit from the last ultrasound, but it is still partially blocking the cervix. The official name for what is going on is a "low posterior placenta". The good news is that the doctor thinks that it will continue to move on up and that I will be able to deliver vaginally unless there is excess bleeding during the delivery. If there is, then we will do an emergency c-section. Yay for no bed rest or scheduled c-sections!!!

He took measurements of little Georgia's head, belly, thigh bone, heartbeat, etc. He said that all is well there and she is growing normally. Her head is now facing down toward the exit too :). We only got one picture this time (I'll post it when I have a bit more time). It isn't as clear as the previous ones, but it shows her face from the front including some chubby cheeks, according to the doctor.

One more bit of good news, only 4 pounds gained this month! Woo-hoo!

Just a quick little update...I'm 26 weeks along now and Georgia is kicking like a mad woman. I woke up at 2:30 a.m. last night to her little feet going nuts! Next OB appointment is Feb. 19...feels like forever away, I guess I'm just a little anxious to see her again on U/S and look to see if that crazy placenta has moved.
