Update

I have not updated our family website for a while so I figured it would be a good idea since a couple of new things have come up. The boys were weighed last month Ethan is now 25 pounds. Brody is a big boy weighing in at about 21 pounds and wearing all 12 month clothes.

As for my pregnancy, I recently had a few complications. I started bleeding the morning of October 2nd. I was not worried about it because I was told by my Dr. not to be concerned about bleeding unless it was clotting or a lot of it. Anyway, it stopped later that night. I started bleeding again early morning of October 3rd. I started to get concerned because it was more then the morning before. Anyway, I made a Dr's appointment for that day. Unfortunately, I was not able to make one with my Dr. so I saw an assistant. She asked me if Darren and I had been romantic lately, I told her yes. I could not understand why she seemed to be so frustrated when she told me I was bleeding because my placenta was irritated because of being romantic. She then continued on to tell me I had Complete Placenta Previa and that I was not suppose to be romantic. I was a little frustrated because they did not call me to tell me this. Otherwise, I could have prevented the bleeding. Anyway, I called to talk to my Dr. because I wanted to find out how this could affect my pregnancy and if there were anymore restrictions. My Dr. told me that I did not have complete placenta previa, that I had Partial Placenta Previa, which makes a huge difference. He continued on to tell me the only thing it would really affect for either the baby or I would be that I would have to have a c-section if my placenta did not elongate. The chances of my placenta elongating are 60%, my Dr. said that very rarely does it not move. Anyway, praise God the complications are no longer and everything is okay with both the baby and I.
