We went to the Midwife Center on Tuesday for our 12 week checkup. I guess even though all our dates were the same, last cycle date, due date etc... they said we were 13 weeks....so yea, end of 1st Trimester...only 2 more to go!
We heard heart beat, even did a quick ultra sound to make sure there was only one baby. .....There is, just the one. But that was our first US...the official one will be in 7 weeks. We are finding out the gender this time and we'll post that when we know. But we won't be giving out names again...sorry.
I have a bit of a cold right now, and I think I gave it to Emmaus. Poor kid has a cough. We also think he has teeth coming in too so his mood is off as is his eating schedule. We have been really fortunate with the loving friends and family we have that have been helping us take care of Emmaus while Jake has been working this month. It's SUCH a relief. I can't say that enough.
So we are not doing a homebirth this time. From the complications we had with Emmaus we decided being at a center would be best. We looked into one other facility in the area that wasn't in a hospital, but decided in the end to go with the Midwife Center at IMC. I heard good recommendations, and they seem to fit well with our busy schedule. At this point, I'm just looking forward to having a smoother delivery than last time. People say the second baby is easier, but really if the 1st time we did it in 40.5 hours, this time I'm hoping for 35 or less!
If you have any questions, feel free to post it. We're due Sept 11....that backwards is 119! (my bday/best bday in the world.)
We have a graduation/baby celebration in Missouri in May and 2 weddings coming up later this year...one probably spring, one probably fall. So we have plenty of things to keep us busy till delivery time. I'll keep you posted!
