On the flip side I have not really mentioned this mainly because I just feel like no matter what it will all work out ok. But there is a reason why for this pregnancy this is a extra blessing. I have placenta previa which means the placenta is laying over the cervix. What that means is a c-section and I am at risk of losing a lot of blood if I contract. There is a chance my placenta can move up and we will do a ultra sound around 34 weeks to double check, if it does I will be able to have a normal delivery and the risks of bleeding before birth will dramatically decrease. If not I will probably be on bed rest until we decide to schedule the c-section or else because I tend to contract every 2-3 minutes all day every day for the last two months this could mean a very early delivery and probably a little little baby. Again I have to say I have consistently felt very calm about this and just know it will work out just fine. I think no matter how she gets here I know she will get here safe. But it has been a huge blessing not to be contracting because that would put me at such a higher risk of bleeding. So right now I am pretty darn grateful! Anyways I just had to cherish the moment today because it has been pretty cool.

I almost feel like a normal pregnant woman!
So I am scared I will jinx it by saying anything but I am so grateful I just want to share it out loud. So I haven't thrown up in almost a month, I maybe only have a hour of contractions a day right now, which by this stage in the game I am usually contracting most of the day already. So I actually am able to keep up with the housework and the kids. SUPER WEIRD! Also by this point I have been given all kinds of restrictions on how much I can do and because I am not really contracting no restriction. LOVING IT! Also the baby seems to be a pretty mellow mover, even more so than Nickelle was, so I am not at all uncomfortable from the baby, and I am also not as huge as I usually am by this point. Basically if I didn't feel the baby move I would not know I was pregnant and definitely not know I am in my third trimester. And to top it all off I am sleeping so deep the last few nights I haven't even woken up to pee. I probably feel what most women feel at this point and I gotta say I love it. So I am going to enjoy it while it last because one thing is for sure, my body loves to contract and I am sure any day now my body will realize it is time to start making life crazy for me and kick it into full gear. Even Dallin has mentioned a few times how weird it is and nice too.

Yea for awesome pregnancies!!! I had placenta previa with Gabe. I was put on slight bed rest for awhile. Luckily it moved by our next appointment so it turned out fine!! Good luck!!!!
Awesome Season! Does this mean we get to see you soon?! Wink, wink! :)
i'm glad you're doing so well. that's great! hope it continues for you. we're praying for you!
Oh you deserve this!! I am glad to hear that it is going well for you! I hope that it continues to go this well!
I'm really glad to hear things are going well. Please keep me posted. I get this little pit in my stomach every time I hear the word "premie". Brings back a lot of memories. But, Lorien turned out great (except for that rare metabolic disorder, but that has nothing to do with the prematurity) and I'm glad you feel confident. I'll keep you and your baby in my prayers!!
