20 week OB appointment

We had our official 20 week OB appointment on Tuesday! This would have been when we found out the sex so I had been counting down the days to this appointment.

All looked great, baby is measuring 19 weeks 6 days so just a week 'small' but they said this is very normal for being 'early' in the pregnancy. The important thing is that all the pieces are there to the puzzle and now the baby puzzle just grows. I asked if my recent weight loss from surgery, etc. would have anything to do with him being a little small and they said no.

Attempted profile of face, baby wasn't quite cooperating to fully see the nose. I think he looks like Dad. 

 

 

So far baby's leg is in the 36th percentile for length. If he takes after mom and dad, this should change!

Only thing that is a little off and scary is that I have a low-lying placenta. This occurs in about 20% of pregnancies at around this point and can result in having to have a c-section if the placenta doesn't naturally migrate up, which is what usually happens as the uterus continues to grow. If my placenta stays where it's currently at, they felt I could still have a normal vaginal delivery with a c-section operating room ready to go if anything was amiss. Let's just hope this placenta makes a move in the right direction...

 That's his butt looking up from underneath and the um... man parts.

Thumbs up! Thanks for checking in on me!
