We saw Dr. Samadi, again, today!!! He is our go to Doc for all things ultrasounds and perinatology.  We got to take another look at our growing little girl, and Everly is looking beautiful and healthy and she is moving like nobodies business.  She is weighing in at 8oz , which is about 3 oz. over the average, but we are not surprised by that at all.  Our babies are big, big, big!!!  Looks like she will take after her brothers!!!  She was still nice and cozied up against my placenta and did not want to give us a good look at her precious little face.  She finally cooperated and we were so excited to see that she has a VERY similar profile to her brothers.  Looks like little Everly Wynn is going to resemble the rest of the Koiter children!!! That means cute AND beautiful!!!  Of course, we already knew that. (wink wink).  Her heart and brain look great, she has all of her fingers and very long toes, she had the most adorable little heart shaped booty, and she is still rocking the precious little button nose.  There was one spot of bad news, although minor.  The placenta is partially covering my cervix, which means I have mild placenta previa, but Dr. Samadi is confident that, as my uterus grows in the next few weeks, the placenta will move up and off of my cervix.  I have been advised against all hanky panky and exercise until our next appointment and I will be taking it very easy in order to avoid placental abruption.  We are not too concerned about this and foresee everything going very smoothly.  We are, however, more than prepared to accept the fact that if the placenta does not move we will have to have a csection in order to bring Baby Everly home safe and sound!!!
