It's a boy! An 18 week boy child who looks mighty cute on an anatomy scan. I have been out of town and up to my eyeballs in work so I haven't had time to update like I want. But I will, oh I will.
One concern is that the ultrasound tech mentioned I have "marginal previa," which sounds ominous and scary. Dr. Google seems to indicate that most instances of marginal previa correct themselves. But, as one never content to view the glass as half full when it comes to my tenuous grasp on fertility, I will be grilling my ob tomorrow for the real skinny. My hope is to avoid full scale freakout until then.
If anyone is still reading this, thanks for sticking around. More substantive posts forthcoming. (Oh, and it was fun to type the word "skinny" because I am officially out of normal clothes. After my four safety pins imploded and impaled my tender belly I broke down and bought some big girl clothes. Bliss.)

A boy! A boy! Oh Melanie, that's wonderful.
Now step away from Dr. Google!
Yay, a boy!!! : )
Boo, previa : (
And let's hear it for comfy clothes!!
YAY! A boy!
I hope the previa works itself out. The tiny bit that I know about pregancy, is that previas often do correct themselves.
Thank you so much for your comment! It made me immediately feel better.
Especially the wine part. :)
Did you try the bella band?
A little boy!!! I'm so glad things are going well. Aside from the previa. From what I've heard, it does often correct itself over time.
A boy! That's fabulous.
I agree with lo - step away from Dr. Google!
I had a partial (posterior) previa at 12 weeks, a just barely sorta kinda partial/marginal at 20 weeks, and by 26 weeks, judging from where I was feeling punches, the placenta had moved up and well out of the way of my cervix.
Congrats on the boy!
YAY! Congrats on a Boy!! That is so awesome.

OMG! I just realized, I'm so Jealous, You know what your having and I dont yet (pout)Oh well, 4 more days =D
Congrats on the healthy boy! Cute is a bonus.
Hope the previa resolves itself. You've been through enough already!
Oh BOY!!!!!
Just don't work too much.
Congrats!
Hooray!
Apparently a lot of p previa does fix itself, as the placenta migrates north, to the top of the ute. So no need to panic yet.
I know, right.
i had mild previa and it totally corrected itself!
