Update on the pregnancy

Two Saturdays ago I started bleeding and of course I was hysterical. We went to the hospital to check to see if the baby was still there, and we found a heart beat. It is a good, strong heartbeat. They put me on bed rest until my scheduled ultrasound in 9 days. I stopped bleeding until last Friday when I started spotting again. I called the doctor and he just placed me on strict bed rest until the ultrasound in 3 days. The doctors were thinking maybe I had placenta previa. Well Monday came and ultrasound time is here. The baby looks healthy and is very active. We got a good open shot of the sex. We are having a GIRL!!!!! I am so excited. Steve is still in shock, but is getting used to the idea. I do not have placenta previa, the placenta has ripped away from the uterus a little and just needs time to heal and reattach itself. I am not suppose to do any excessive lifting or heavy lifting, vacuuming, or laundry and I am suppose to take it easy. Easier said then done with 2 kids but Steve is really good about keeping me off my feet. We are really excited about having a girl and all the drama she will cause. She is all ready causing us drama and she is still in the womb!
