Even Better News!

I am officially 21 weeks today! Woohoo! I am more than halfway done with this pregnancy, no matter when I deliver.

Before I forget, I wore my first official maternity outfit to work last wednesday at 20 weeks. I got a lot of compliments on it. At home, I can still wear sweats, but I am transitioning more and more into maternity clothes.

I have more updates about our LO's condition. I finally was able to speak to my OB yesterday. The perinatologist does not believe that I have vasa previa. Instead, he thinks the veins are at the top of the placenta so that there is a buffer between the veins and the cervix. This is really, really good news.

Also, my activity level has not been changed - still just pelvic rest. No bedrest or hospital bedrest. This is huge for me!!

I will also be getting another ultrasound at 23 weeks (May 14th), so that will be cool.

Lastly, apparently, there is some shortening of our son's femur(s), but nothing that is considered abnormal. We started the referral for the amnio, but we are going to wait until I am further along - in case something happens during the amnio.

so, we are starting to get more reassuring news.
