I know it's been a bit since we've last posted. We've had lots going on - just like everyone else - but for some reason, without really having any 'news' to share, it didn't seem too important to give updates. So basically, our current status is the same. We're waiting. Waiting for my placenta to stop lying low. Waiting for Baby Bo to be born. Waiting to close on the house we want to buy. Waiting to find what's next. Waiting. (So thank you for stopping by and reading about our waiting...)
Because of my low-lying placental issue, I need monthly ultrasounds so the docs can stay on top of the issue. One of my regular ultrasounds was this morning. Mostly uneventful - but Bo did kick the tech once or twice - she wasn't impressed (for the record: I was impressed). My tech was chatty and nice though. But we still don't know if the placenta is officially covering the cervix or just laying low. Either way - I'll probably be back and get some more pictures and keep an eye on things. If the placenta doesn't move up, I'll be scheduling a C-section. Not really a warm & fuzzy thought - so keep my placenta situation in your prayers, eh?
The bonus of having to get so many ultrasounds is all the cute pics of in-utero Bo that we get. There was only one from our photo shoot this morning though. And, as the title of this post would imply, it's ridiculously ambiguous. I doubt a seasoned ultrasound tech would even be able to discern that they're looking at an OB ultrasound. Maybe a kidney or something. Regardless, it's posted here for your viewing 'pleasure'...
Now about the house situation: The closing date and time has finally been set for this coming Thursday morning, 9/20. This has been a very long time coming - we had put our original offer in back in early July. The home inspection found a few items that needed to be addressed, but the seller has been decent enough and the required modifications have been made - thus taking even more time. We've been spending most of our time lately talking about paint colors and how we're going to get everything done before Bo is born (especially as that timing-window keeps getting smaller due to this home-buying thing being such a long process).
We also just bought a new mattress! Oh the excitement of being a grown-up...
As for our plans for this weekend? We're going to take it easy and rest. The real work begins next weekend.
Love and Hugs!
