19 weeks 2 days

Time is flying by. I can not believe that next Thursday we will be finding out if we have a son or daughter. A few nights ago I asked Pat through tears(hormones!) if he would be ok if it is a girl. He gave me a reasuring "of course,yes!" I think hes ready to be a Daddy! :)
I have been so blessed that I have been feeling well for pretty much the entire pregnancy so far. I have started to suffer from a few of the common symptoms such as sore feet, round liganent pain, and just a slow moving body overall. My tailbone was bothering me for a few weeks but that has seemed to subside. I am hopeful that this is because baby is moving up to where he/she is supposed to be. At my last appt. the Dr. said that she believe that my uterus tilts backwards. This could be some of the reason they couldnt find the hearbeat at week 13.
In the anatomy scan next week we are praying that my placenta is now where it should be. As baby grows in 50-75% of the cases the placenta moves up as baby makes more room in there. If it has not moved from over top of my cervix they will need to do more ultra sounds to monitor. If it doesnt move by our due date then I will need to be scheduled for a C-section. Before diagnosis of my low laying placenta I had every intention of going as natural as my body would allow me to.
I started to organize the nursery last weekend. I hung up all of the itty bitty clothing and separated it by size. I can't wait to find out if I will be buying Pink or Blue. I have started some early nesting behaviors. I have already washed all of the baby clothing that we have. I have also started cleaning in places I haven't cleaned in far too long. Last week I dusted the walls in our bedroom. I couldn't believe how much it was bothing me.
Till next time, please enjoy this picture.
