Third Trimester!

We're 27 weeks now and we've made it to the third trimester! (And right now as I'm typing this, I'm watching Jace move around in my belly!) It won't be much longer now. I had an appointment yesterday. I saw a different midwife since mine is on maternity leave until the end of April. I've gained 2 pounds in the past 4 1/2 weeks, so now I'm down 5 pounds. We went over the ultrasound I had 3 weeks ago. My placenta is still not up where it needs to be for a safe delivery. It was between 6 and 8 mm away from my cervix and it needs to be at least 2 cm. So she said that as of right now, I have a 50-50 chance of having a c-section. My next appointment in 4 weeks will be with the OB, since she will be the one to perform the c-section if it comes down to that. The follow up ultrasound is in 3 weeks so we will know if it's moved up any whenever I see her. Part of me wants to go ahead and schedule a c-section and not take any chances of any complications with the placenta. (I've kinda freaked myself out by googling. Note to self: DON'T do that!) I guess we'll see what she says and go from there! Here's my belly at 27 weeks 1 day:
