First appointment

I had my first prenatal appt yesterday. It was amazing! I had no idea I'd get a sonogram to see the little one. So exciting! I got to see his/her little arms and legs moving around. He/she was shifting back and forth looking like he/she was trying to get comfortable. There was this huge sac of amniotic fluid and my little one was all snuggled up to one side. It was surreal to see that little heart beating so fast. The heart rate was 192--pretty darn fast! Nathan and Mike got to see which made it even better.

The Dr was very reassuring and seemingly on the same page as us. He is all for a VBAC with limited interventions. He made me feel very confident in him. I am going to look into hiring a doula soon.

I am measuring a few days later than I originally thought but not enough to change the due date. I even got pictures of my little one to take home! He/she looks like a little gummy bear. :)
