I had my ultrasound last week but forgot to update! Everything with little one is right on track. They were able to get the views of everything they needed and she looks nice and healthy! She weighed in at approximately 1lb 2oz, which is 59th percentile. So, she is growing well so far. :)
The doctor said my placenta was looking fine and didn't show any signs of being attached to my c-section scar. I go back in June for another scan to check on that and growth. They are concerned that it may develop into something called Placenta Accreta, which is where the placenta abnormally attaches to the scar. It can make it difficult to remove the placenta at birth and can cause lots of bleeding and possibly even a need for a hysterectomy. I feel like I have enough issues to worry about this pregnancy, so I'm going to try not to worry myself with this until I need to. So, here's hoping it stays nice and separated.
Feeling well so far. I hit 23 weeks yesterday! One more week until viability! BP this morning was a beautiful 110/60 and no swelling at all. I feel pretty good for now. :) I am dealing with an awful (what I assume is) varicose vein way down low on the left side. It hurts when I walk or stand for too long, just on the left side. So, I'm thinking that's what it is.
She had a few quiet days where I didn't feel a whole lot of movement but yesterday and so far today, I've felt a lot of movement, so that makes me happy. :) I love to feel her move. It's such a reassuring feeling.
I feel like I'm holding my breath- waiting for things to get bad again. I hope so much that they don't. I know work has coverage for me starting in June. In case things get bad. :/ I hope that is unncessary.
I'm just going to hope for the best and pray, pray, pray that things go well this time. So far, I have no reason to believe that it won't but I know that things can change in the blink of an eye.
How far along? 23w1d
Total weight gain/loss: bahaha, I'm not sharing that!
Sleep: Eh, ok I guess. Between the frequent bathroom trips and trouble getting comfortable, I wake several times at night. I guess I'm just practicing for when baby comes!
Best moment this week: Nothing so far... it's only Tuesday!
Movement: Yep. Lots of movement for the past two days. I love it!
Food cravings: None really. It kind of varies each day.
Gender: Girl! :)
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Ceasar Salad
What I am looking forward to: Nothing in particular at the moment. I guess I'm looking forward to lunch, since it's getting close to that lol!
