As I mentioned before, we are doing check ins on the baby because of my anterior placenta. I feel about 1/10 the movement that I felt when James was at this stage. Call me gun shy but I would like to feel my baby more than once a day. The doctors say that the anterior placenta is like a pillow in the front of your belly so it absorbs most of the subtle movements. It will get better as the baby gets bigger. I can tell already that I am feeling more movement on the sides and on top of the placenta.
Today we had the first of what will become weekly ultrasounds. I am happy to say that the baby looks very healthy. She* scored great on all the bio-measures. She does appear to be tall . . . and is tracking 2 weeks ahead of where we actually are. My sweet baby girl is already over 5lbs. With 7 weeks to go we may have a very large child on our hands! I have been doing much better with my overall weight gain than I did with James and am so far up 28 lbs (compared to the nearly 60 lbs I put on with James)**. Perhaps weight gain and baby weight aren't correlated . . . .
Keep your fingers crossed friends. . . I am praying this isn't going to be a 10 pounder!
*Confirmed again
**I thought I had severe morning sickness with James, turns out to be acid reflux. I ate an absurd amount of snacks with James until I figured out that indeed, it wasn't nausea. oops!
