Update
We went to the Dr.'s yesterday, first we had an appointment with the perinatologist they did an ultrasound to check on my condition and as far as right now there is not much that has changed. However they are 99% sure I have Placenta Accreta and that my placenta is not going to move. They have also told us to absolutely plan for a Hysterectomy, so we are. Our little boy is growing well, he is measuring a week ahead, he weighs 1 lb 10 oz and looks great. So they are planning on starting steroid shot on him between 30-34 weeks depending on how my body is handeling all this, and they will for sure deliver him no later than 36 weeks. Of course all this can change if I start to have some bleeding, I will be put on bed rest, they will give him the steroid shots and deliver him early. So our goal is to try to make it to 36 weeks. They are watching my accreta closely because there is huge concern that it will grow into my bladder and I will have to have some of that removed as well. We will see. Thank you to all my family for everything, and to all of you that have keep our family in your prayers. We still need them. Love you all.

Wow. Thats a lot of news to get at one appt. How are you guys handling all of it? PLEASE LET US KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING WE CAN DO FOR YOU GUYS. Love ya!
Ok I don't know what placenta acritia is? I'm so sorry you have to have a hystar well you know what I mean. At least your little man is growing good. That is so scary. Please keep me updated!! Keep the computer with you on bed rest!
I would say google Placenta accreta, its very hard to explain through a computer.
I will keep you in my prayers and GOOD LUCK! I hope everything works out for you guys!
I'M SOOOOO SORRY, I don't know what I would do. How are you with it? I'll say my prayers for you.
Right now I am completely ok with a Hysterectomy as long as we don't loose our little boy. We would be so devestated to have to bury another child. Things do look better for him, they are now more worried about me, which I'm happier with. So thank you for thinking of me and keeping us in your prayers.
I've been thinking about you a lot lately, we are learning about placental abrnomalities in my OB class. Hang in there.
Rach-
good luck with everything! Im sure all will go well because you are doing everything right! Keep us posted!
Rach, what do you do with Now I lay me down to sleep? I actually sent them an email yesterday telling them I would like to volunteer.
I actually thought of you and my cousin that lost her twins at 22 weeks and wished you both could have had that opprotunity.
