I always get so nervous before my appointments.
No matter how many symptoms .I've been having,
.I'm always just so anxious &almost scared to go!
Lol, is anyone else like that?

I get very apprehensive while waiting in the waiting room. It's hard not to think back to when I sat there last year waiting to hear the inevitable dreaded news!

I know what you are going through .K! It's hard not to think about the bad, when it just happened.

Try to think of what this baby is going to give you in life. Look forward--not back ;)

Oh my god your 33 weeks already?????? Holy cow I didnt' know that you were that far along.

In my first pregnancy I couldn't wait to go to my appointments at all. I couldn't wait to hear the heart beat and to see how I was progressing. It was great until I went into the hospital.

During my last pregnancy I didn't want to go to any of my appointments. I didn't want to know how things were going....I didnt' want to hear any bad news. But this pregnancy was perfect.

Wow sandra, I am so happy to hear that everything is going well for you. You will have your little girl here sooner than you think. That's amazing. Are you going to have to have another c-section???? Mine wasn't so bad. I was really surprised I thought it was going to be a lot worse. I was in the hospital for 9 days after my first one so I didn't really get to do much but lay around. So I heald a lot before I went home. I also didnt have a baby to tend too....But it was wonderful...It wasn't that bad.

What are you going to name your skoot.....I am sure that you have been talking aout it but I am too lazy to go back and look for it.

Arcadia they aren't normally wrong about the sex of the baby.....They know what they are looking for and at 22 weeks you risk the baby being too big to see whats going on down there. The bigger the baby the harder it is to find out what it is.....Not too much room in there you know, it starts getting crowded in there. (or at least that is what I was told.)

yep another c-section. I have one planned for october 29th. (until further notice.) and we're naming her .Caitlyn .Nicole. :-)

when I was in the hospital after jacob was born I was there for... 5 days. Rob stayed by my side the entire time. It was so nice. Im delivering at a different hospital this time (.Winnie .Palmer .Hospital) and this hospital has alll private rooms and each room was decorated by a interior designer from what ive heard. Its supposed to make the mothers more comfortable. The room I was in wtih jacob was super tiny.

I'm home!!!

Unfortunately, my ultrasound was no scheduled for 18wks :(
.But .I'm seriously thinking about calling before my next
appointment &saying .I fell &want an ultrasound, lol.

Anyway!

Everything is fantastic.
My blood pressure was a little high, but she said don't sweat it.

She talked to me about how .I've been feeling &she said it's all normal, just take it easy. Then she checked my ankles for swelling, then measured my uterus (.Chris was fascinated that it was just with a simple tape measure! Lol), &then we listened for the baby's heartbeat. It took her a minute to find it, but she did- of course. It was loud &clear! &.Fast!

She said everything looks absolutely great.

:)
