Katie, it's a lovely picture of Anna! She may be a drama queen, but in the picture she looks so calm and just so sweet.

Laney, it sounds like things went great at your scan. I can absolutely believe that the low-lying placenta caused the bleeding. After all four of the big bleeds I had in the first 13 weeks I had a scan, and the first two (weeks 8, 9) showed a placenta that was fully covering the cervical os, and the next two (week 11, 13), where large clots came out too, each showed a low-lying placenta, the first time it was right up next to the opening and the next time it was 1/2 cm away. The high-risk OB said it can definitely cause non-dangerous bleeding as long as it's within 1-2 cm. But I haven't had any bleeding since 13+0, and of course by the morphology scan the placenta had moved up and requried no further concern. So I think your low-lying placenta might be causing some blood, and I'm sure they've also told you that it's not really dangerous and that in the vast majority of cases it moves itself up before the birth.

Rozzie -- my thoughts are with you and Alec this weekend.

I'm still battling with my sinuses, and have been waking up after 4 hours of sleep every night without being able to get back to sleep, so I'm so worn out. This weekend might mostly be spent in bed. Right now, I need a kleenex and some breakfast... back to you later.
