We celebrated Thanksgiving with Rick's mom yesterday. We all had a great time! We decided to be non-traditional with our food. Instead of a big turkey with all the fixings, we had smothered burritos, spanish rice, queso, jalapeno-cilantro cream cheese dip, and a caramel apple pie for dessert. We were soooo stuffed! The food was great! The kids had a blast playing outside with Paw-Paw. There was just so much to be thankful for! God continues to bless us!
I had my routine OB appt earlier this week. It was, fortunately, uneventful! Next weeek I will have the much anticipated visit with the perinatologist for my sonogram. I have begun to struggle some with questioning why, but I am trying so hard to remember I am not the one in control. I am trying to trust in our Lord, so please continue to pray for us as things draw near!

28 week check-up
November 10, 2009
I had my routine check-up with Dr. Molland today. We visited about my placenta previa situation, and my growing frustration. From what I have read, those who bleed, usually present around 29 - 30 weeks gestation. Well I am 28 1/2 weeks. I told Dr. Molland I couldn't help but feel like a ticking time bomb. I asked him what the percentage of patients he saw with a complete previa that actually have a bleeding event - he said 25%. OK, that's pretty high. He asked me when my follow-up visit for my ultrasound was scheduled with Dr. Blanco, I told him December 3rd. Dr. Molland felt uncomfortable with waiting that long, so he called Dr. Blanco's office and moved my appointment up to November 20th.
So as I was driving home, Dr. Blanco called me. He wanted to visit with me about the change in appointment. He was advising against moving the ultrasound up since each examination via ultrasound (transvaginally) could incite bleeding. He also said 3 weeks from the last ultrasound was not enough time to see if the placenta had moved up and out of the way. So he recommended we keep the appt for December 3rd, and only if my clinical situation changes, i.e., I start bleeding or go into premature labor, would we look sooner.
So I will see Dr. Molland again on the 23rd of November, and Dr. Blanco on December 3rd.

Hello Penny!!!
November 6, 2009
We welcomed Penny to our home today!! She is 6 weeks old and is a Boxer/Weimer mix. she is so sweet. Abby just absolutely loves her - but only on her terms!
Abby likes Penny only when she is sitting in her box or lying down on the floor. She doesn't like it when Penny tries to come up to her and say hello!
Rick and TJ are in Brownwood. They will be coming home tomorrow. That will be good because the dog kennel needs to be cleaned and Penny has been hanging out in a Pampers box!
She seems to like it just fine though.
