Third Sonogram

Monday I went to my third sonogram appt to see if my misbehavin placenta has relocated to a more acceptable postion....and the diagnosis is....placenta previa type one! Sounds fancy and serious, but before anyone panics, it is NO BIG DEAL! It turns out it happens quite often and I can still have a normal birth they just have to be careful that I don't bleed too much. Of course Zach, being the super dad he is, freaked!!! He couldn't make it to the appt with me so when I got back to the office and told him what was going on he decided to look on the internet about my condition....bad idea! He learned that it could lead to all these horrible problems, which have a 0.5% chance of happening, so I had to spend a little time calming him down. He got to come along to the doctors appt on tuesday, so he had his questions answered by the doctor and his nerves have settled. In a nutshell I'm doing great, feeling great, and the babies measurements are all very healthy. Yesterday the doctor asked if I had been feeling any movements...Zach and I busted, as I sat there getting kicked in the ribs, stomach and bladder!
For the record I wanted to put some boy/girl predictors on the blog to be able to read later when we find out what we are having....
Boy: Linea Negra extends above the belly button, Chinese calendar says boy, craves salt, carries low, feels good mostly with bouts of tiredness, 85% of family and friends guess boy
Girl: craves sweets
So as of now signs point to boy....I can't wait to find out....if it is a girl, she will defy the odds ;)
