How far along? 30 weeks Total weight gain/loss: 13 pounds Maternity clothes? Wearing mostly maternity tops, but still wearing some of my pre-maternity pants with the belly band. Stretch marks? Nope.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope. Have you started to show yet: Yes. Gender: It’s a girl! Labor Signs: Nope. Belly Button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On. Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! Looking forward to: Next ultrasound in 4-6 weeks! Hopefully we will get a good face shot.

29 week ultrasound

Gregory and I went to our 29 week ultrasound and OB appointment yesterday. I was really hoping to get some good ultrasound pictures and be able to post them, but none of the ones she gave us were even worth posting. 'Baby B' had her hands in front of her face, so we didn't get a good face shot. She weighs about 3.5 pounds as of now. The ultrasound tech said her heart, spine, liver and kidneys looked good. She is still measuring about a week ahead, but I don't think they will change my due date as of now. She is head down, but still has room to move around. I have what is called a low lying placenta or marginal previa. Bascially the placenta is partially covering my cervix. If I went into labor anytime soon, I would probably have to have an emergency C-section since I would be at risk for hemorraging. They said that the placenta should move up on it's own eventually and I should be able to have a regular delivery, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that she goes full term and the placenta moves. We go to the doctor every 2 weeks now and I will have another ultrasound in 4-6 weeks to check once again if the placenta has moved. Hopefully with the next ultrasound, I will get better pictures.
