Unfortunately, my morning sickness got more intense after my last post. I have had a lot mroe of it since then - including lots of throwing up (boo!). I'm approaching 17 weeks here - hopefully it stops soon. I keep finding women who tell me they threw up all 9 months of their pregnancies. Hopefully that's not how this one goes!
Everything else is going well. I have started feeling the baby move a little bit. I can't wait until it can be felt from outside so that I can share it with Andy and Amberlin. Yesterday we had an OB appointment and when the doctor tried to find the heartbeat with the doppler I could feel the baby moving away from it. It was pretty funny. It took her a while to find it for that reason. A stinker already. :)
I have actually had two OB appointments since we posted last. The one last month was much more eventful than this month. We found out that we'll have our ultrasound on January 26th and hopefully find out the gender. We were also able to determine the date of the C-Section, which will be June 8. It makes it nice to be able to plan so far ahead of time! An unfortunate discovery that we made in that appointment was that our scheduled delivery date falls on our doctor's vacation time! Boo! We really, really liked Dr. Schoen. We will be meeting with the other doctors in the practice (there are three more) to determine who we will use instead. Although I'm disappointed, I know that God has something in mind for the delivery of this baby. I will TRUST (that's my word for the new year) that whatever happens is in His will. Our next appointment is with the doctor that Dr. Schoen thought we would get along with best. She said she is funny and outgoing, too - which is what we enjoyed so much about her. We'll see what happens....
I'm sorry you're feeling sick. I hope you start feeling better. Don't worry, there's also a lot of women whom didn't have to throw up the whole 9 months. It's good to hear that everything else is going well. I love that your 2011-word is trust. I know that if it were mine it would be quit a challenge :)
ReplyDeleteI do hope that between taking care of Amberlin and getting on with the rest of your life you still have time to enjoy this pregnancy. I wonder, is this experience a lot different from the first time?
