I was supposed to have my u/s with my OBGYN this past week. I was excited to meet my new doctor and of course see our baby again. Unfortunately, I got a call from the office explaining that we can not deliver at the local hospital because they do not take my insurance; therefore, I can not go to that office for my prenatal care either. I was very upset and disappointed because I was born in that hospital, along with the fact that my sister works in labor and delivery there. I was comfortable with the idea of having our baby there too. So, after some research and a referral, I am seeing another doctor in another city and will deliver at a different hospital about 45 minutes from here. It's a Women's Hospital and I've had friends who have delivered there and loved it. The only part that scares me is the travel time, but I'm sure everything will be fine. I believe everything happens for a reason and things always work out for the best. So, I'm looking forward to meeting this new doctor and getting acquainted with this new office.
As a result, I have my appointment next Wednesday. I'll be almost 11 weeks then. I am so anxious to see what the baby will look like. The first time we saw it, it was just a straight line flickering away. I've heard that it will actually look more like a baby. I am also anxious to know that everything is ok in there. I haven't had as much nausea as I was in the first few weeks and I actually cooked a hot meal last night for my hubby and was able to eat it. (hot meals at night have not been appealing) I feel good and blessed that I feel this good. NO complaints here!
A few more weeks and I'll be into my 2nd Trimester. Sometimes, I still can't believe it. Some days I have a noticeable belly and then some days it looks normal again. I can fit into most of my clothes still, unless I've eaten a huge meal. My sister and sister-in-law have given me a bunch of maternity clothes. It was funny to see TJ's face when I showed him all the pants and shorts with that elastic band around them. He was like "really, you're going to wear those?"
I have an app on my phone that tells me what is happening to my body and my baby each week. Our baby is slightly 2 inches long now and weighs about 1/3 of an ounce. Hair follicles are growing, along with nail beds. If it's a girl, ovaries are developing and if it's a boy, testes are developing. I can't wait to find out what we're having. There's no way I can wait till February to find out. I've waited long enough!! People ask "Do you have a preference?" Absolutely not. I want a healthy baby...I know it sounds cliche, but it's totally true! I have no preference at all and will be elated to have either a little TJ or a mini me.
