The latest on Abigail
We had another ultrasound on the 23rd. See?
I admit there has been some doctoring on my part. I really wanted to have a profile-ish picture and her hand was moving along her face, so I photoshopped it out. I am a bad mom.
I am happy to report that she clearly has a nose and lips i.e. a face. That is a relief. You may be asking "was that really something to be concerned about?" The answer is "yes". If you are me, "yes". I couldn't tell from the last ultrasound that she had a defined nose and set of lips, so of course, it made me wonder.
The GOOD news:
Abigail is right on target and is doing great. She is 1lb 12 oz. of activeness right now.
The BAD news:
The doctor has now classified my "condition" as placenta previa. Which means the chances of my placenta moving away from my cervix and allowing for a vaginal delivery are pretty slim. In other words, I will almost certainly have to have a c-section.
The GOOD news:
There is a slight chance that things could change. I still have a lot of growing left to do and another ultrasound in 4 weeks. Until we see no change again in a month, there is still hope.
The bottom line is that Abigail is healthy and my pregnancy is continuing to progress. That is what matters in the end.

It is SO funny you removed her little hand. I'm glad to hear that everything is going well and that both you and Abigail are healthy. Happy Mother's Day!
