I had my first "checking" appointment today. Heartbeat still sounds great. He's moving like crazy. I'm more than 1 cm but not quite 2 yet. But I know that doesn't really mean anything since I was that way with Kathryn for a few weeks.
I also got a little peak at him this morning. Apparently at my check up last week the doctor thought he was sideways. I saw the Nurse PA today and she said he felt like he was the right way, but he was wiggling pretty good so she sent me to the ultrasound lady to get a check. Yep, he's head down. She scared me for a minute when she said we may have to talk about a c-section. Not really what I want to do. Especially with a 19 month old running around like crazy.
I say 3ish weeks to go maybe because I just have this feeling he's coming early. I know it is more likely for the 2nd one to come early, but I just feel different than I did at this point with Kathryn. I think I knew Kathryn was going to be late. But this time, I just know he's coming early. Watch, he'll be a week late too. I'm not make predictions about when, but I keep having dreams he comes in January, not February.
And we are closer to a name. Not completely decided yet, but we are getting there. And yes, my bag is packed... for the most part anyway.

Did you get pictures? Can you put them up for us to see?
I hope you don't have to have a C-section, either, but you can survive it. Just line up lots of help for the first few weeks!
What is your idea for how you want this labor and delivery to go?
We got one picture. Supposedly it is of his head and a hand. It is even hard for me to pick it out. I'll see if I can get it up. Our scanner isn't plugged in now. But I'll see what I can do.
I'm hoping he comes quick & easy. Since I was induced with her it all happened so fast that I hope I know what I am looking for. I'm not planning on using drugs. I've heard that being induced is much more pain intense than going normal. I'm hoping he comes without help... and when I can have help here for Kathryn.
I had a c/s with both, and was fine! If it has to be done, it's ok. Taking care of a 19month old and a newborn is very tiring, but doable! I can't wait to see pictures of the little guy!
