I was able to see you today. Although your eyes, nose, lips and chin are all where they should be, you're so tiny and still have more growing to do in the weeks to come. You were positioned exactly how I thought you'd be; head up and feet down. In the ultrasound I discovered that the placenta is located in the front of my stomach, instead of behind you. Although Ethan and Juliana's placenta was behind them, this is perfectly normal, and occurs in about 30% of women. It can make your movements less noticeable from the outside because it's like you're moving into a pillow, but as you become stronger, others will be able to feel you, even through the extra cushion. You were so funny today. You smiled a bunch of times. I never remember your brother or sister doing that when they were inside of me. It was the sweetest little thing. You were snuggled into the placenta and kept leaning your head onto your little hands. You even sucked your thumb once. You were sitting Indian style and had your body curled up. I'm hoping to go back when you're 32 weeks and get a good face shot. I've been resting a lot today and the swelling in my ankles has gone down, but I've had a lot of heartburn. Probably because I've been in a laying position most of today. You're moving right now. The frequency of your movements are increasing more and more each day and your heartbeat is strong, consistent and very healthy. Sixteen more weeks and you'll be here. I love you little girl.
