call off the presses.. the placenta being "in the wrong place" is a non-issue for right now. (unless I start bleeding, but honestly, bleeding during pregnancy is a big deal no matter the placement of the placenta - so that's not a news flash) turns out the OB's nurse misunderstood the OB's orders. I am to go for a radiology ultrasound after I am 25 weeks along to see if the placenta has relocated itself or not. if not, it's truly not a huge problem since I'm a c-section anyhow... essentially, if the placenta is covering up the cervix (you know, the exit) and it is not detected before delivery, the mom and baby can have massive bleeding issues.
for now - we're a-okay. crisis (that didn't really exist) averted.
up next for me... putting the pregnancy back on autopilot (as if I have any choice for it not to be), and placing my focus back on getting our new house in order. tomorrow, we are having our home security system installed. it's scheduled to take "several" (4-6) hours. which wouldn't be any big deal if we had anything resembling comfortable seating at the new place yet. we have 2 lawn chairs. and entertaining a 16 month-old in a house full of space and air is somewhat of a challenge. (particularly when there is no suitable place for her to nap.
planning for exhaustion tomorrow. and an early bedtime tonight.
