Another Appointment

This one heard the baby's heartbeat... it was nice to hear as sometimes I think I over due it and think about it later. Everything is good but they are making the due date 2/11/2009 instead as that is what the ultrasound is showing and its more than a week off. So instead of being 13 weeks,I'm now only 12...boo! But they asked if I wanted to do some 1st trimester screening that involves another ultrasound and I'm liking that so I'm all for it. They didn't have this when I was pregnant with Andrew so I know its new. It was only in the 2nd trimester any genetic screening was available.

Just letting you know I'm not changing the sides to show this change.....

Also with having a c-section before, if I choose one again (which is most likely) they like to do it a week earlier than the due date and that puts it on Andrew's birthday...again if I so choose that date as seeing Andrew might not want to share. Since Andrew's due date was Feb 1 also and he was late I'm leaving it as is just things that normally would happen at certain times might be a little later.

First Ultrasound!

Here I am at almost 11 weeks and the baby is measuring 9wks 5 days. Am I surprised??? No not really as I look back at the calendar and know that it wouldn't be possible. Besides it makes the day I think this all happened more feasable. Anyway the baby's heart beat was on the high end 176-190 bpm. So if I had to guess a sex for this kid it would be a girl. We will see in February.... Supposely that method doesn't work to tell you but its better than the other methods that I've heard and know didn't work. So first picture is baby crown to rump.

This one shows all of babies arms/legs (hence the arrows)

And another one crown to rump! Of course this kid was wildly moving so who knows if its that "behind"

The Second Appointment

Was JUNE 30th (9 weeks pregnant):

I stuck with the same place and the midwife was SO MUCH more compationate! She gave me a sheet to get the ultrasound done so I can see that everything is going well... Its hard not to compare as by this point I had 2 ultrasounds done on Andrew..... But I'm glad they at least gave me that option and I guess I can stick it out with them.

The First Appointment

Was June 13th (friday):

The Midwife that saw me was awful and had a rotten bedside manner. You ONLY got one ultrasound and its at 16 weeks to make sure everything is okay anf that's it. I just have concerns as my "history" on this is not great. I already had one ultrasound with Andrew by this time and he was the first, its not like the second time went smoothly since there's no second child. I thought about switching doctors but my busy school schedule pretty much didn't have time for wiggle room to switch.

I got a goody bag of stuff including prenatal vitamins and prescription for some and instructions etc....

So the Facts....

So the fact is that I was last and its not a big deal I picked up a pregnancy test thinking there's no way but somehow seeing that I'm not convinces the body to do what it has to do... Except it didn't it was Positive!!! That was JUNE 8th!



Well the funny part is that the LMP was the same as it was with Andrew.....and I found out about him coming May 29th... Oops I guess I dropped the ball on this.

The Start.....

Its not like I've told many people and most importantly the major ones don't know that I am pregnant but since they didn't have this technology when Andrew was around I really wanted to do it if I ever had another child..... So I'm blogging it even though as of now its on the down low as I still want to document all of this baby goodness without people knowing...
