Well, we had Baby #2 ultrasound this past Wednesday. All went well. The baby weighed in around 14 oz (and will grow around 2 oz/week for now I guess). So, officially will be 1 lb next week. We brought Ethan thinking he might be interested, but I'm not sure what I was thinking because even as an adult, I find it hard to see just everything on the images. But, we got some nice souvenir pictures of arms/hands, face, upper half of body. We looked away while the tech measured the leg, just in case anything were to pop out at us. :-)
The only hitch is that I got a call from the doctor yesterday and apparently I have a "low lying placenta" which could very well correct itself, but if it doesn't then I will have to have a c-section. I go back in for another ultrasound between 30-32 weeks to see what the outcome is. Everything I've read says that there are very good chances as the baby grows that the placenta will rise and allow for natural birth. I know that c-section is always a chance with any birth, but I guess it was a big shock to me to think that I'd know going into having the baby??!! Anyway, fingers crossed that when I go back in 10 weeks that all will be normal and we'll have a shot at natural birth for #2.

First of all, let me say, you were much better with naming Ethan, "Baby #2" might not be the best choice, I'm just saying...
As for looking away with the leg measurement, GREAT JOB! I applaud your dedication to anonymity, as one rivaling, nay, equaling my own! Glad to hear everything is going well, and good luck with the placenta thing!

We'll be praying for a safe pregnancy and that you'll be able to deliver naturally. Either way it will be a blessing. Congratulations and enjoy this time with Ethan!
