Today I had a routine doctors appointment for the baby and I. I am measuring right on at 22 weeks and her heartbeat was 140. I have been able to feel her kick for the past few weeks, but not very much. I really have to concentrate and get in the right position. I asked my mid wife about it and she said it is because I have what you call placenta previa. It is where the placenta lays in the lower part of the womb covering the uterus. I had the same thing with Carson and it ended up moving away from the cervix by the time I reached 32 weeks and I assume the same will happen this time. So to make sure everything is ok for a normal birth, they will do another ultra sound in a few months to make sure it has moved. If it has not they will schedule a c-section. The percentage of woment who have placenta previa all the way up until delivery is very low, so I’m not to worried about it. Other than that is has been a healthy and happy 22 weeks of pregnancy. I will be adding a 22 week picture as soon as I get it taken. :)

2 year old stats
Carson had his 2 year old doctors apt yesterday. Usually its not a big deal, but yesterday was a total bomb. The melt down started when we were called back to the room and Carson had to walk away from the fish tank that was in their waiting room. It just went down hill from there. I’m sure everyone has experienced a bad appointment before, but I know I don’t ever want to experience one again, what a nightmare. Anyways he checked out nice and healthy. He is 37 inches tall (94%) and weighs 35 lbs (92%), so overall he is a big growing 2 year old.
Thing he is currently doing and loving:
* Loves trucks/tractors with hitches
* Is so good at shooting baskets. He makes at least 1/5 standing a few feet back
* Love all things that are motorized or battery powered
* Loves rough housing with his Daddy
* Loves going to the park
* Loves using scissors and painting
* Uses many word to tell what he wants/needs
* Is a total hands on child
* Is potty trained (YAY)
* Naps for a good 3 hours cause he doesn’t slow down even for a second during the day
* Sleeps for about 10 hours a night.
