Our sweet baby boy appears to be as healthy as we can confirm him to be at this point. I am SO grateful. His risk for chromosomal issues came back as low as possible (confirmed by both blood work & the ultrasound), he has all his parts, weighs 8oz (Luci weighed 7oz at this stage), and is measuring with a delivery date of Christmas Day! My official due date is December 27th based on when I think I ovulated, but if the old school rule was applied Christmas Day would be the actual due date.
My placenta is low at this point, but Dr. Johnson isn't worried at this stage of the game. We'll do another ultrasound at 26 weeks to hopefully find that it has moved up. If it doesn't move up we have an increased risk of early bleeding & pre-term birth combined with a necessary c-section. That being said, I'm just continuing my usual prayer for the courage & strength to accept His plan with grace.

Great news....thankful for a healthy report for that sweet baby. (I'm amazed that you know what Luci weighed that early....I can barely remember what mine weighed when they were born:-) I had placenta previa with Avery...almost complete previa and mine moved up, so hopefully it will move on it's way a bit higher very soon. So glad to hear the great news! Next...2nd birthday post/pics and a big name reveal post:-) (Not to pressure you, you just rest and relax...we can wait:)
Great news! I'm celebrating this milestone for you in IA! Now we can pray for the next one! Big hugs to the Pierses!
