After we had our ultrasound at 20 weeks, the doctor called me several days later to inform me I had a low-lying placenta. It is nothing to be concerned about (or so the doctor says) and she told me that she finds low-laying placentas in 5-10% of pregnancies at 20 weeks but most (90%) correct themselves. So I have to go in for a follow-up ultrasound at 28 weeks to make sure it has, in fact, corrected itself. It happens when the top of the uterus grows faster than the bottom but as the baby grows, it evens out. Worst case scenario, if it hasn't corrected itself, it can develop into placenta previa and then I'll have to be restricted movement and they'll have to take the baby at 37 weeks.
At my 24 week appointment yesterday, she said everything looks good, baby is measuring right on track. Baby Sister (that's what we call her because we have no name yet) is a bit over 12 inches and more than a pound. She is moving all the time (!) and is already waking me up at night with her circus antics. At my next appointment I'll have the glucose test and the follow-up ultrasound. I'm excited to see my little girl again!

My kind of Art!
For Christmas, Chloe received a wonderful present from her favorite auntie - bath crayons and bath paint! For a girl who LOVES to paint and do craft projects, this is the perfect gift! While Chloe explores her creative side, she can do so in the tub where clean-up takes 5 seconds - this makes it the perfect gift for Mommy too. In the past month, Chloe has been busy painting and coloring on the bath tub.
She has also taken an interest in body art.
The only downfall is that I can't get her OUT of the tub!
