I worried about whether or not he was growing properly, but according to my OB second pregnancies can take longer to feel the baby finally move. I could feel and watch Penelope roll around by 14-15 weeks. I finally saw him move and really feel him move as of last week. So far I've had an ultrasound at almost every appointment to make sure that he is growing properly and that we don't have any life threatening issues. I found out that I have placenta previa. My OB isn't very concerned due to the fact that I'
