So, The Anatomy Scan went well. Baby is measuring right on track, the organs and spine look good and like I said, He's a mover! There were a couple of things that showed up that I'll have to be monitored for. First is I have a mild case of Placenta Previa. My Placenta is about 4mm away from my cervix right now. It has to be 2cm away by the time I deliver or they'll do a c-section. They seemed pretty confident that this will fix itself. The other thing is Velamentous Cord Insertion. This means that the umbilical cord didn't attach in the right spot. There is nothing that they can do and nothing that I can do to fix this. They are going to monitor me for growth issues. Right now, he's right on track and this doesn't seem to be causing any problems, though. Prayers are very much appreciated for a continued healthy pregnancy.

We are super excited to finally know that we are team blue. R is beside himself that he is going to have a son. We can't wait to meet him and have him here. September can't come fast enough!
