Not much of one...but an update

I went to the doctor this morning and they didn't do the ultrasound (that is scheduled for the 24th of Feb), but he checked everything else and he said it all looks great and right on schedule. The baby's heartbeat sounded strong, I measured just right and I gained a whopping 7 pounds this month! That was depressing for me, but the doctor said that was perfect. So, I have to keep that in mind...all I see is fat! =-(
I had been having a lot of cramps & lower pain followed by my stomach getting very hard and was worried that maybe it was trying to go into labor. He said that is totally normal as well and said not to worry unless it's happening 6+ times an hour for two hours. It hasn't been nearly that often, so that was a relief. Thank goodness I haven't had any bleeding and that is the biggest threat with this placenta previa. So, the 24th is when they can tell if the placenta has moved or if it's still covering the cervix. He still wants me down and taking it very easy until we know the results of the ultrasound. But, all is well for now. Stay tuned for an update on the ultrasound.
Thank you so much to all of our loved ones that have been so wonderful to take care of us this past month. I feel so loved and blessed by the kindness and generosity of so many of you. Love you all! Thanks!
