Curve Ball...

My 28 week OB appointment threw us a curve ball.  You may recall that I mentioned a partial previa in a recent post that was discovered at my 20 week appointment.  We were in "wait and see" mode until 28 weeks when we were expecting to see the previa having resolved itself as my uterus grew.  Unfortunately, our expectations were totally off-base.  We have confirmed that we are now working with a complete placenta previa.  What does that mean?  A lot of things... a few of them are scary and risky, but if you don't consider the "ifs" and just talk about the "knowns," it's not so bad.  Basically, we know now that if all goes well over the next 8 weeks, Libby will be delivered by c-section between 36 and 37 weeks - that's May 13 through May 20.  That's 4 weeks sooner than I expected, but we can't risk my body going into labor, so we do what we must.

Good thing her nursery bedding arrived today!  Now, I need to get some newborn clothes because all the ones I have left-over from Ryleigh are bigger.  Baby clothes shopping?!?! Darn... ;)
