Last week we met with our new doctor, who we're really excited to be working with. She's kind, mellow and treats us like we're her only patients. Together, we decided that Missouri Baptist Hospital will be our best choice for delivery which is just a short drive from our house. From this point forward, I will begin seeing the doctor once a week. Today was our second sonogram (more on this below), next week I will meet with the other doctor in the practice and the following week the nurse practitioner (to get acquainted with everyone in the office before delivery). So far, everything is falling into place. The nursery is painted and almost completely set up (still waiting for the crib and need to start washing everything) - don't worry, I'll post pics when finished.
Sonogram #2: Today was our second sonogram, which was so different from the first one 15 weeks ago. The baby is much bigger and seemingly crammed into my uterus which made it hard to make out what we were looking at on the sonogram screen. We were told that baby M weights approximately 5 lbs and 7 oz and is on track for the August 22 due date. It's fluid, placenta, weight and position all look great. We were most excited to hear that the baby is head down and pretty low in the birth canal, getting ready for delivery (which is great news!). Just a couple weeks ago we were told that the baby was breech, so we were preparing ourselves for the worst (c-section). It looks like things have turned around (literally) and looking good for a healthy baby and natural birth. And, no, we didn't cheat and find out the gender :)
Here's a sonogram pic. We were told this was an eye (but doesn't look like much to me). She said it's head was low and facing my spine so a glimpse of an eye was all she could get. That's okay, we'll see the little one in person before we know it!
