Today we saw Dr. Flores for a check up and to get the results of our 18 week ultrasound. All looks great. The baby is growing at the proper rate, his heart sounded good and I have only gained 8 pounds since I got pregnant. Not to shabby! I am still on modified rest though. I am back to work on light duty, but I still can't go for walks, do much house work (oh darn!), or any other strenuous activities. But, my placenta previa has been down graded to marginal. That means it is continuing to move away from the cervix. It is currently still at the boarder of the cervix, but it is no longer covering the cervical os (or opening). I will get another ultrasound in a couple weeks to see how it is progressing. Dr. Flores also said we should get our amnio results either today or Monday hopefully. She did indicate that the longer it takes for them to contact you, the less likely there is any issues. So we don't mind that we haven't been called yet. I'm pretty confident the results will be normal.
On Wednesday we got a great baby present from our friends, The Madigans. It is a sling rider for when the baby is an infant. We tried it out using Indy as our "baby". He didn't seem to mind and, in fact, seemed down right comfy. Pretty soon I'm going to have to clean up the guest room to get it ready to be the babies room. I think we are going to go with an animal theme.
