I guess it's real, even if it still doesn't seem like it to me! There's another baby on the way! I had my first doctor appointment yesterday afternoon. I decided that I wanted to try a different doctor this time around. My main reason for this was that a) I didn't looove my previous one, even though she was nice and b) I had to wait about 2-3 hrs for almost EVERY appointment (ridiculous). So I asked around and ended up finding another female M.D. at the same clinic. I really, really liked her! She was quick, professional, down-to-earth, and upbeat. It was such a relief! We got to see our little peanut on an ultrasound and hear the heartbeat. I also got my annual cervix check and they took 4 vials of blood out of my arm. Oh the joys. Anyways, according to what she saw on the U/S and from when I'm thinking we conceived, my tentative due date is....wait for it....December 23rd. Why am I not surprised??? ARGH. This poor baby. I was trying really hard to AVOID having a Dec due date. Guess I failed. Y'all start saving up your money so you can send my baby a birthday present AND a Christmas one--hahaha. My next appt will be in another month, and by then the doc will be able to better tell how far along I am.Looks like it's my choice whether to have another c-section or not. I voted to do it. There are some risks to birthing the baby the ol' mole fashioned way after a section (uterus rupturing--yikes) SO I'd rather not take those risks. No thank you! So the bonus of another section is that they take the baby at 39 weeks instead of 40. I'm not sure why that is, though. I need to ask. But at any rate, even taking the baby a week earlier still keeps me at Dec. 23rd. We expect everyone to bring Christmas to us in the hosptial, OK? :) Especially Christmas dinner! I'm just giving y'all some good forewarning. Heh heh.

Congrats Amiee! That's so exciting!
And I think they deliver via c- section early to prevent you from actually going into labor on your own first. I could be wrong though. Who knows?
Wahoo! Congratulations Amiee!
Congrats - of course!!
I'm not trying to sway your opinion because I honestly dont care which you choose - but there is something very neat and special about pushing out and giving birth to your baby. It's priceless - I actually look forward to it in a few weeks for myself! VBAC's are really common and safe, and there are alot of risks with a c-section too, plus the recovery of a c-section with a 2 year old and an infant.... It is nice being able to plan your baby's birth though, and being able to schedule it all. I don't blame you either way! What a tough choice.
Yay! Congrats!
That is so AWESOME! I am so excited for you. Keep us posted, we hope all goes well;)
Amiee! Oh my goodness! We are baby-buddies:) Who would have ever thought that you and I would be having a baby around the same time!! I'm so excited for y'all! You make gorgeous little chillins!
YAY!! congratulations!! that is so awesome!! and I am sure they will let you go a little early if the due date is right by christmas :) I am so happy for you guys!!!!
Congrats, Amiee!!! So exciting!
Congratulations Amiee!! I just had a Dec 20th baby and I agree wholeheartedly on not wanting a Dec baby. What were we thinking? I have a friend who has parties and presents at the 1/2 birthday in June. I haven't decided what we'll do. I have a Dec birthday myself and I think I would have loved to have another time of year to celebrate me (because you know on the real day in Dec you will still get a cake and some recognition).
