It's a BOY!!!

So today I was finally able to go to the doctor! This time around I'm seeing Certified Nurse Midwives and so far after today's appointment I am happy with this decision. They were so nice and I felt like I could just talk to them like friends. I didn't know they'd be able to do the ultra-sound today so I was excited. I can't remember the last time I felt SO excited. First time hearing baby's heart beat, seeing it, finding out what it is. Yeah, excitement. Baby looks and sounds healthy, but guess what? My due date was changed to January 18th! LOL. I find it hard to believe that I was that far off(when I found out I was pregnant I was already like 6 weeks and couldn't remember exactly when my last period was. Just tried to remember best I could). I do have another ultra sound scheduled for October 30 to make sure I was only off and that it's not something like the baby's not growing correctly. The OB came and talked to me too and said he's not worried at all because of my history, and I'm not either. That's good! I'm great with having my due date changed to later. I know that seems crazy to any mom out there, but I have been blessed with easy pregnancies, I'm not particularly ready(at least not at this point) to be a mom of 3, and I REALLY did not want a holiday baby. So it works out nice! Oh, and I am so STOKED because they don't need me to do the glucose test!!! (sing hallelujah chorus here) I wanna puke every time I have to drink that awful stuff. Since it's my third and I've never had gestational diabetes before, and since I haven't gained an abnormal amount of wait for me, they say I can skip it unless sometime down the road I suddenly start to put on lot's of weight. =) I'm 24 weeks and 4 days, and I've gained 13 pounds.

Yay, another cute nephew! I'm glad you got your boy ;).

So will I not see you at Christmas? That'd be a big bummer.

Oh, yeah, I just don't want to be traveling that close to my due date, especially in the snow and ice. I'm sorry! I'm sad about not seeing anyone either!

I am so super excited for you guys! Boy, girl, boy...lol cute! I know what you mean about not wanting to travel so close to the due date. We changed our holiday plans, too, since I'm due Jan. 14th.

I don't know if you remember, but I am going to some CNMs as well, and I LOVE them! I'm glad you had a good experience with them. Just curious--what made you decide to go to them instead of an ob/gyn?

I didn't know until early in this pregnancy that there were such things as midwives who still had you deliver in the hospital. I'd much rather see a woman but didn't want to be out of the hospital.

Congrats!! How fun for you! Good news though, they do have a new flavor of that lovely drink. I think it was fruit punch, not tooooo bad. -That is, if you have to drink it later, there is something to, maybe, look forward to.

I hope I won't have to do the glucose test when I am pregnant with #3. Glad to hear all the good news.

I am so excited for you guys! Doesn't it feel good to know what your having? By the way, I made your caramel popcorn recipe. That is some good stuff!

By the way I love how you put "David Speaks" on the side. I love what little kids say. When Brooklynn starts talking better I'll have to do that.

Wow, no glucose test?! That's awesome!! I had the g.d. with my first but not my 2nd so I'm sure I'll be chugging that nasty drink for every pregnancy. Congratulations again!!

Congrats on all of the good news!!!! And I am uber jealous that you don't have to take the glucose test.
