Bedrest, yo

So we had to go to the doctor on Friday after I started bleeding on Thursday and we found out that the placenta ain't where it's supposed to be. I've got a misplaced placenta. The technical term is placenta previa and it just means it's resting on top of the cervix. This could be dangerous, but because I'm only 16 weeks, it will likely get out of the way in its own sweet time and I'll be able to get back to that triathlon I was training for.

That's the funny thing - I am the least active person I know. So the question I would like answered is what caused the bleeding in the first place. Because it's not like I'm DOING anything.

Complicating things is the fact I'm on blood thinners. If I start bleeding again, I have to stop the blood thinners, which in theory is keeping the kid alive. So this should be a lot of fun.

In other gross news, Charlie is FINALLY not afraid of pooping in the potty. This took about 2 years, people. But he's a big kid now - he yells from the bathroom, "I pooped and I'm not even scared!" Hurray!
