Connor is going to have a ...

SISTER!

(We think!)

She doesn't seem to like the camera, she shielded her face
with her fists. 

Baby's hands were by the face the whole time, and legs up

Baby was very shy. Her legs were closed the whole time, she was asleep and refused to change position. So the pictures are no where near as good as Connor's were. Most of them are blurred (due to my anterior placenta) and hard to decipher. So the shots we got weren't the best so it is recommended we do a Gender Check Ultrasound next appt. So we will have another peek at baby at 24 weeks. For now though doctor recommends we call baby a girl!

WE ARE THRILLED! WE BOUGHT A NEWBORN DRESS TO HONOR THE OCCASION! 

IT IS ADORABLE AND I CAN'T STOP LOOKING AT IT!

Mommy:

Lucky me with this pregnancy I have an anterior placenta.
I looked it up and ...

The term "anterior placenta" refers to the location of the placenta within your uterus. Most of the time, a fertilized egg will situate itself in the posterior uterus — the part closest to your spine, which is where the placenta eventually develops, too. Sometimes, though, the egg implants on the opposite side of the uterus, closest to your abdomen. When the placenta develops, it grows on the front (or anterior) side of your uterus, with the baby behind it. 

Which explains why I haven't been able to feel my baby's movement much (because the placenta serves as a cushion between baby and my tummy). The doctor also warned me it is a bit harder to hear fetal heart sounds, which may be cause for additional ultrasounds. I am also showing less this pregnancy due to the anterior placenta. Most people don't know I am pregnant even, partly due to the fact that I wear lose shirts most of the time anyway.

But the good news is that, despite slight inconveniencies, an anterior placenta in and of itself poses no risk to your health.

Sometimes anterior placenta pregnancies turn into high-risk pregnancies. But this is rare and with my good delivery/pregnancy last time nothing is anticipated. Doctor is not worried so neither am I. But it is good to be informed.

OVERALL: Baby and Mommy are healthy and doing great!
