Meet My Little Blob

The appt went well this morning. They did the u/s first, and the u/s tech said that I was actually measuring 10 weeks instead of 11 weeks, which is what I had originally thought. So no biggie. My new due date is May 13. But since I was too early to do the Integrated Screening u/s that had to be rescheduled and I will have another u/s two weeks from today. I saw my doctor and she went ahead and did my pap and stuff. She commented on how small my pelvis was, which I've been told the same thing by two other doctor's. She asked if I was wanting a VBAC and I told her I wasn't really sure. The only thing I was really concerned about was having the baby with me after the delivery instead of going to the nursery so I could try to BF as soon possible this time around. She said that was fine, I would be able to keep the baby with me as long as everything was ok with it right after birth. So that's encouraging. I don't have to decide on the VBAC right now. She's really great and I can tell she will support me in whatever decision I make, which is nice. But she did mention that because my pelvis was so small I may not be able to. Which is fine with me actually. A c-section doesn't scare me at all. I'm actually more nervous to go through labor again and have a vaginal birth. But we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Still PLENTY of time to think about it.

SO the u/s tech didn't try very hard to get any decent pictures because she said I was too early to do the screening test. She just did a fast scan with measurements and that was it. We did get to hear the h/b, which was a big thing for me! It was nice and strong, 174 bpm. Here's my cute little blob,
