Goodbye Previa, Hello Third Trimester!

Well, it was a long, looong 8 weeks of waiting and scary Google research since our 20 week ultrasound when I found out I had a centered placenta previa. That's just way too much time for a worrier like me to be alone with her imagination and the internet.

Our 28 week followup ultrasound showed that it has cleared cometely! They didn't even need to measure how far away it was. It moved up to my front-ish, left side which sounds about right, because I rarely if ever feel her move or kick around that area.

Our little girl had herself folded up in a Frank breech position at the sonogram. Nothing to worry about yet. There's still plenty of time for her to flip head down. 

Here she is; toes to head:


















Here are my bump pictures from weeks 26, 27 and 28:
(I think the shirt makes it hard to really see growth, but I can assure you it's growing rapidly.)






























Now for a little catching up on Lily...

We had a fun time trick-or-treating with some school/neighborhood friends.

























Her Sofia the First 3rd birthday party was a hit.







Thanksgiving was nice and relaxing.


Now we are preparing for Christmas, which Lily really understands this year. She is so excited! Although she gets the whole Santa brings gifts to good kids thing, it hasn't really curbed her little attitude. She's as stubborn as ever. Actions and their consequences are still something we are working hard to get her to understand, remember and take into account before she does or says something. Nevertheless, Christmas is absolutely magical with a 3 year old in your house :)








Just last weekend we went to a classmate's birthday party. It was fireman themed and so much fun!



It is highly unlikely that I'll post again before Christmas or New Years, so Happy Holidays everyone!
