I've been seeing a specialist for the last few months about my placenta previa, which I had with Alyssa and it had lifted by this time. With this pregnancy, I have full previa. That means my previously scheduled C-section of December 2nd at 39 weeks has been moved to November 19th at 37 weeks. I was not happy about having to move my delivery date when I first found out about a month ago, but after my final appointment yesterday with the specialist, I'm ok with the new due date. Why? Because Peanut is currently 5.7 lbs measuring 35 plus weeks and I'm 34+. When I deliver at 37 weeks, he'll be around 7lbs and if we kept to original schedule of 39 weeks, he could be close to 9 lbs!!! Yikes! That's huge for my little frame! So less than 3 weeks from now, we will be holding this little babe and we can't wait!
