Baby News

Figured I'd make a new post so as not to threadjack CDE's post :)

It's been a pretty easy pregnancy for me aside from the morning sickness I had early on. I do however have what's called placenta previa which means that the placenta is partially covering my cervix and makes a normal delivery dangerous for both myself and Lil Miss. Basically if I start dilating then the placenta could separate early and then she wouldn't be getting enough nutrients and there would be a lot of bleeding - just a bad situation all around. So for that reason my doctor said it would be best to schedule a c-section at 37 weeks to prevent any of that from happening.

Lil Miss has been very active and she's healthy. The ultrasound tech told me last week that she's got a ton of hair too :) Her current estimated weight is 4 lb 14 oz which is a little small but since I'm small my doctor says it's not too surprising that I'll have a small baby.

There's not much new in the nursery just a few little things that we need to take care of. Our bedding set is on order and should be in by Monday and other than that I need to find some pictures or something to hang on the walls. It's all coming together nicely. This is the set we've picked out :)

I think that's about everything that's going on right now

    We're 99.9% settled on Faye Sharon but if she gets here and we feel it doesn't fit we'll change it. Our back-up name is Evelyn Marie. But who knows neither may fit her and we'll be back at square one.

    Aw, I like the names.  Now, more importantly:

    When are you coming to Houston to buy baby-stuff?!
  • edited December 2011
    haha Elle.  I'm not sure when I can make it up there - I'll have to see how my recovery goes but I really want to make a trip up to Houston sometime this summer. I may try and make a day trip up there sometime in mid to late July - I figure I'll be pretty well recovered by then and Lil Miss will be old enough for me to be comfortable taking her on a trip.

    Oh my goodness! That bedroom set is INCREDIBLE!! Andrew's last name is the name of a bird... (thus my screen name). So I'm particularly fond of the set.

    ::swoon:: It's beautiful! Good choice, sapphire! Have the girls here already seen some belly pictures?

    I'll have to go dig for it. I'm surprised that the regs haven't gotten all foot stompy and demanded new pics. LOL.

    Glad they are taking every percaution about your Placenta Previa. I know it can be an extremely scary thing to have to deal with. I'm so excited that you and H will be holding Little Miss with the week.

    Sending lots of T&P your way for a speedy recovery.

    Yay! I also love the set you picked out. BTW Sharon was my grandmother's name so I am partial to Little Miss having that name as her middle name! All three of you will be in my thoughts this week, and I can't wait for you to come back and AW a picture of her! GL.

    B3! How are you? I was thinking about you the other day.

    And I'll post this here - the bedding came in today! The nursery is pretty much done - just need to find some wall art but that can wait :)
