16 weeks 1 day

We had our appointment 2 days ago to check our baby and the pesky blood clot. It was a fabulous day for us. The blood clot has shrunk from 7.5cm in length to 5.5cm and from 6cm in width to 3cm. The baby is now alot larger than the clot. I am amazed at his growth. We've got to watch it throughout this pregnancy, which I didn't experience with my other two. He is usually real busy and active when we see him, but during this one he seemed to be resting. He would stretch and suck his thumb, but no flopping :) Everything was positive for us and this was a huge relief. We also got a 99.9% boy instead of 80%, so we are definitly having a boy! With this confirmation, I am now ready to buy boy stuff :) I had gained a total of 6lbs at my last appt., but it is now only 4lbs. Not sure what that is about, but they don't seemed to be worried. I am still on bedrest until the clot is completely gone due to a high risk of placenta abruption. I'm starting to get real bored, but obeying the doctor's orders! We are so thankful to God for protecting our baby boy!
