It's a....

GIRL!! I was so surprised. This whole pregnancy I've been convinced it is a boy. So much for maternal instincts! She was very cute and I swear she has my nose! It's true!

I have a complete placenta previea, so I'm on pelvic rest and can't exercise. I'm bummed because I've been working on getting in shape. I'm hoping it resolves on its' own. If I end up bleeding at all I'll be on hospital bed rest until the bleeding stops. It's one of those things that could be nothing, could fix itself, or could be really serious.

We go back in 4 weeks for another check to make sure it's not hindering fetal growth and to see if it has moved. If it doesn't move by the end of the pregnancy, I'll end up with a c-section.

The baby had a cyst on her brain, but apparently these are common and they are more concerned with the previa than the cyst. Still, not exactly what you want to here you know?

Still, she is healthy and there are much worse things that we could have found out than a previa or a cyst. A girl...wow.

Congratulation on the news of a little girl! A friend of mine was pregnant and they found a cyst on her brain as well at about 21 weeks. Her baby was born fine. The cyst just kind of went away. I pray that you babies' does as well.

Congratulations on your little girl! There are plenty of little girls on the way it seems. Maybe our little princesses will be born on the same date coz we're so close. (Sorry this is so late, I'm so slack!)...
