Hey peeps. Here are some photos of my little one... and then I will tell you my scare story...
baby at 10 weeks
baby at 12 weeks
baby today at 17 weeks.
Ok, now for my story. So last night I am getting ready for bed no big deal. Well I go to the bathroom and I have some spotting. (For those of you who don't know my first pregnancy I spotted for four days before I lost my baby, which afterwards my body shut down completly for two years) Yeah, so I freak the hell out! So I got up at 7am this morning and just went straight to my doctors office. No phone call, just showed up. Doctor checks me out and thinks everything is fine, so she sends me to get an ultrasound just to be safe. So I leave a feeling much better and I go to work. But the doctor calls me at work to tell me that my ultrasound shows that I have placenta previa. All she tells me is that this means that my placenta is moving pulling away from my uterus and is actually attatched to my cervix, not my uterus! AAUUGGGHHHH!!!! Panic mode hits me again. So I do some research while I am at work to find out what it is. And basically long story short I can not have sex for the rest of my pregnancy!! I am only four and a half months!!! That is a long as time with out sex, not only without sex, no penetration of ANY kind, no finger, not tongue, no nothing! Then to make matters even worse I may be put on bed rest. I might even be hospitalized. And my baby might have to be delivered really early. Then in really extreme cases, the uterus has to be removed after birth!!!!! OMG!! So I am praying for the best, that everything works itself out. And that I can stop myself from constant panic. Hopefully though the baby should be fine aside from maybe being underweight.

ANNNNND baby?!?! awesome. Good luck with him/her - I hope everything turns out okay. I myself was underweight the whole pregnancy and they had me panicked that something could be wrong with my munchkin.
Try some Powerade/Gatorade and see if that helps. I need to pop in and see you before you have to do bedrest or anything....
