My Baby Girl is Still in Ethiopia

We found out today that we are having a boy which means that our girl is still in Ethiopia. I kind of had a feeling that this might be the case. At any rate, we have some shopping to do. The other thing we found out is that I have placenta previa. Not something I expected at all. The Dr. told us that it is the kind that will not likely move out of the way, so a C-Section is inevitable. We have to go in every 4 weeks to monitor the growth of the baby, and the position of the placenta. At this point he said that the baby looks great and the growth is right on target. I don't feel great about being fillayed (sp?) open or the possible bed rest that often accompanies this kind of problem. Not easy to lie in a bed when you have a 4 year old in 2 different pre-schools and a husband that is gone all of the time due to school and work. Perhaps we're putting the cart before the horse, but I like to be prepared emotionally for the worst case scenario. The placenta previa usually isn't a problem unless bleeding occurs (which is common in the late 2nd trimester.) Stay tuned for the drama to follow (hopefully there's not much.)
