What a difference a week makes!

So we had our dr. appointment today. It was mostly good news. The bleed or whatever it is, is still there. However, the doc isn't convinced now that it is a bleed. It looks like it may be that the amniotic sac hasn't fused yet to something (don't ask me what that something is, I can't remember). She has seen this up to 20 weeks or so. It is not on the side of the placenta and the placenta and the amniotic sac look great, so her words were "This isn't something we are going to worry about at this point" Easier said than done, but she did make me feel pretty ok about it. They are going to monitor it - I have an ultrasound coming up on the 20th for 1st trimester screening and they will check it then and basically check it every 4 weeks after until it looks the way they want it to. I am off bedrest but on some restriction. No lifting (including Keira), no working out, pelvic rest - but other than that, normal life. So live as normally as possible but take it easy. This ultrasound was pretty great. The baby was VERY active - we got to see the baby kicking, punching, and wiggling around. We could see fingers, legs, arms, the jaw bone, and of course the heart beating. It really helped to see all this. Compare this to last week when really all we saw something that looked like a peanut with a heartbeat. Here are the pics for comparison. It is amazing how much difference a week can make.
