7 Months!

I'm happy to say, we are 7 months along.  This pregnancy has been a bit harder, but at the same time, a bit easier.  Harder, because I've now have a toddler to care for and easier, because I've been through this before and know what to expect.  Everything seems to be going well, except for the plantation of the placenta.  It seems to have planted itself on the lower part of my uterus, which makes it dangerous for a vaginal delivery.  The risk of hemorrhaging during and after birth is high.  We were planning on a C-section anyway, but the just kinda sealed the deal.  Luckily, it is not too low on the placenta, because that would have meant, bed rest!!!!  

The major difference with this pregnancy is this little guy has some strong kicks/punches.  Elianna was also very active during my pregnancy with her, but this little guy will stop me in my tracks or wake me up at night.  I'm experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions.  They come about once every other day or so.

Here are some pictures of my growing bump.

This last picture I took right now.  I wanted to have something current to post so I took a quick shot on Photo Booth.  I'm not looking my greatest right now, so the cut off face was not an accident :)
