Baby update- 11 weeks

Well... I has been a really busy few weeks. i saw the specialist and he said everything was perfect and I didn't need to have any restrictions, or take my meds! He also said I was no longer labeled as high risk and a normal ultrasound at 18 weeks would be enough! That was great news to get...

The Tuesday after that I started bleeding and of course freaked out. So after spending 4 hours in the ER it was confirmed that I STILL have an internal bleed, still need to be on modified bedrest, restart all meds and the baby is perfectly healthy with a strong heart beat and busy moving!

I followed up with my doctor a week later and these are the images that were taken. Baby is measuring a bit bigger than I am (in the past baby measured to the day- now it is almost a week bigger). Baby is still doing great, heartbeat is strong, moves all the time (I feel them every now and then), bleed is still present but it is smaller than it was and my doctor believes the baby was laying on it when the specialist's tech did the ultrasound. The bleed is no longer putting the baby at risk since it is 1 cm by 1/2 cm. Even if the placenta attached over it; it will be ok since my placenta is larger than that! Huge relief. I still have a 25lb restriction, stay on all meds, no cleaning (poor Nate- he is having to do so much) and of course "Pelvic Rest" (Nathan's favorite part (clean the house and work extra hard but stay away from me!!!) Will update more as I know more... Next ultrasound in Monday June 8th!

New baby at 9 weeks.

Here are the newest pictures of the new baby. Baby is growing perfect and measures exactly where she should. Please continue to pray for the SCH that is still present. As long as it is present the baby is still at risk of being miscarried; regardless of how well it is growing or how well my labs are. I see the specialist tomorrow and will know more than.
