Last week's scare

Last Thursday was quite eventful for the Smiths. Nicole awoke to find she was bleeding rather heavily. After calling the dr. we met her at the Labor and Delivery room to be checked out. Fortunately, Nicole was feeling Baby Olivia kick so we knew she was ok, but we needed to find out what was causing the bleeding.

12 long hours later we were able to go home. Turns out the low lying placenta Nicole was told to have is actually marginal placenta previa. While there is a chance it will improve on its own, until then she is on modified bed rest, which basically means staying off her feet as much as possible and avoiding exercise, lifting, etc.

The whole event was rather terrifying, but if we can find good in the event it was that we got an extra long ultra sound where we got to see Olivia. They once again confirmed she was a girl, weighing around 1 lb 8 oz and all organs and body parts looked normal. Olivia seemed unfaced by the ordeal and we even got to see her yawn-so cute!


Here is a picture from the u/s. Nicole is 23 weeks 5 days in this picture.



Thanks everyone for the prayers, good wishes and phone calls the last few days. They are much appreciated.
