This week marks 33 completed weeks of pregnancy!! Last week we had an ultrasound to check my placenta. At my 12 and 20 week ultrasounds I had what they call a "low lying" placenta. Which just means it was low and if it didn't move would have been blocking my cervix. This is not to be confused with "Placenta Previa" which is completely blocking the cervix and is attached to the uterine wall and will not move.
Thankfully I had a low lying placenta and I'm happy to say it has now moved up!! YAY! Which means I'm able to have a natural birth - no c-section.
Our little guy however has decided he wants to hang out breech in mama's tum. So he's now the one I need to get moving! More on that later...
Now on to baby! He is doing great! Healthy weighing 4lbs 8oz. already!! I knew I felt huge for a reason. He wasn't being the most cooperative at the ultrasound though, he just wanted to keep showing us his biceps!

| there's the sweet little face we were waiting for! The umbilical cord is on the one side and his little hand is still there too, but hey we got a face shot and he's PRETTY darn cute if you ask me! |
Our due date is September 19th, 2012 - however this ultrasound put him at September 13th! I'm not going to bank on him coming early but I sure would be happy if he did!!
During the ultrasound when we finally got to see his little face - he was making sucky faces, clearly practising his sucking for the b**b when he gets out!
Now I've gotta get to a pool and do some hand stands and get my hips elevated above my heart so that the little man will move! I've also read putting something cold at the top near his head could get him moving away from the cold, and putting something warm near the pelvis could get him moving. So I'm going to try try try!
Keep y'all posted!
