Alot of you already know, but a week or two after our sonogram, I received a call from the doctor that I currently have placenta previa. This is where the placenta is low and covering or partially covering the cervix causing various complications if it doesn't fix itself. Thankfully I am early enough in my pregnancy that there is 90% chance that this will fix itself by week 28. Also, I found out that only the tip of the placenta is covering the cervix, which makes my chances even better. So it's just a waiting game right now. But until the next sonogram to see what has happened, I am not supposed to lift more than 20lbs, can't run and do anything strenuous along with a few other things. Obviously my first concern was Trey because I still have to carry him alot and he is 26 lbs. But the doctor assured me it will be okay as long as I just try to limit this. So we're working on Trey walking up and down steps on his own alot these days, and he has gotten alot better. The only problem is when we get near the top of the steps of our condo toward the front door, he stops and tries to go back down because he hates being inside these days. I don't blame him with all the great weather we've been having!! We spend alot of time taking walks or playing on the porch. I can't wait till we someday have a yard hopefully!
This past week we had a really nice day in the 80's, so we went to my parent's house for the morning and Trey got to swim in the baby pool for the first time this summer (pictures to follow). He loved it. Aunt Rachel sprayed him with the hose and, though freezing cold, he thought it was awesome. He has absolutely no fear of water, it's so funny! I can't wait to see him go in the ocean this July!!
Trey's little brother is getting more and more active each day. I can now see my stomach rolling around as he kicks and does head stands or whatever he's doing in there! His favorite times to be on the move are around 9 in the morning and 9 at night. I've started cleaning out closets and reorganizing things in preparation for bringing back little baby items. Somehow we'll fit it all in! I'm appreciated all the more the TV shows that show how to better organize.
Last weekend we enjoyed Easter with Pj's family this year at his parent's home. Trey enjoyed the candy, especially the jelly beans. He didn't quite get the Easter Egg hunt, but he understood there was candy in the eggs and horded them as he gathered rather them letting Daddy put them in his basket. He ate them within minutes! It was a very long day and he fell asleep the second we got home... as did Mommy!
This weekend Pj will be preaching at our church. It will be his second time and I'm looking forward to hearing him. He did a really good job last time. I can't imagine getting up there and talking for so long, let alone just two minutes.
This past week or two I've been keeping busy working on a few design projects... a logo for one organization and a postcard for another. It's been fun! I've really been thankful for the timing of these projects too to help distract me while I was a bit worried about the placenta previa and just trying to take it easy (don't worry, I'm barely think about it now:-)).
Well, that's it for now! Here are some photos of Easter and of Trey's swimming day:-)
