Baby Sister is still Baby Sister

Today we had our anatomy scan and got the results of our blood tests (we do blood tests for Down Syndrome, Spina Bifida, etc). Thank you Lord that Baby Sister looks fabulous and all the tests run came back negative. We checked to make sure she was still a girl and sure enough she is! She is a wriggly little thing. She was moving all over the place. She was drinking the amniotic fluid and appeared to be rubbing her eye. Bella went with us and was quite nervous at first. She is not a fan of going to the doctor. She kept saying, "Baby Sister gonna be ok." "Mommy gonna be ok." She also thought I should take my clothes off and go weigh. That part was actually hilarious. Apparently she remembers that part of her own doctor's appointments.

The doctor that we go to for our ultrasounds is a high risk doctor. They have awesome equipment and you actually watch the ultrasound on a 37 inch flat screen TV. Bella pretty much talked through the whole thing. Mostly she just wanted to go back to the waiting room and look at the fish in the fish tank. She did get really excited a couple of times. At one point she said, "Baby Sister is coming!!". I think she got much more excited after seeing her on the TV today. The doctor even gave her her very own picture of her feet!

At this time I do have placenta previa. I will go back in 6 weeks to check on it. I have had this since the beginning and they thought it would move. It has not moved yet. If it doesn't move I will have to have a C-section. Not really sure how I feel about that!

She's a mover! I'm feeling her move ALOT and I LOVE it! By far my favorite part of being pregnant! This picture shows her heart rate which was at 150.
