Sex: It's a Surprise!

4/23/07
Positive TestWhen I got home from work, I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I had bought a shirt for Ally a few months before that says "I'm the Big Sister" so I had Ally put it on to tell Daddy
5/10/07
SpottingI called the nurse because I had some spotting for a few days straight. I went in to take a blood test, but don't get results til Monday, so I had to sit and wait.

6w5dDr. Siegel - Even though my test results were good, I wanted to go in and see the heartbeat to get confirmation. I couldn't even wait a couple days til my first official appointment. I thought for sure I had a miscarriage because I was spotting every day for a week straight. I was trying to be positive. We were so happy when we saw the heartbeat in an ultrasound. The baby was measuring right at a due date of 1/3/08 which is what I calculated.
5/18/07
7w1dWe saw Dr. Weeks. This was my first official appointment. They basically just asked about my medical history and how I was feeling. Did an internal and everything is fine. I haven't been feeling too sick, but craving carbs and extremely tired. It's a lot different the second time around with a toddler to chase after.

11w1dIt was a very quick appointment with Dr. Heimburger. The took my weight, blood pressure and then the doctor listened to the heartbeat. It took him a few minutes to find it, so I was a little nervous, but luckily it was beating 160 bpm.
7/11/07
14w6dMet with Dr. Siegel, heard the heartbeat - 164 bpm.
8/10/07
19w1dMet with Dr. Weeks, heartbeat - 156 bpm. He said there was nothing to worry about from the car accident.
8/29/07
21w6dUltrasound - we did not find out the sex, by choice:) Everything looked well. I'm measuring almost a week early just like with Ally. We are hoping for a late December baby.
9/10/07
23w4dWe met with Dr. Weeks. The heartbeat was 148 bpm. Everything is fine.
10/12/07
28w1dMet with Dr. Bernardo. Diabetes test was normal. heartbeat 140 bpm.
10/21/07
BeddingWe picked the bedding - Alphabet Soup by Cocalo. We are working on clearing out the back room and then Craig will paint. I think we are ordering the same furniture that Ally has because we like it.
11/9/07
32w1dDr. Heimburger - heartbeat 140 bpm. Everything going well.
11/21/07
33w6dDr. Heimburger - heartbeat 148 bpm. Everything fine. Next appointment start internal exams.
12/7/07
36w1dDr. Siegel - Baby is breech:( Dr said we will talk next week if the baby doesn't turn about my options. Only 97% of babies are breech, so that is my luck. I wanted to avoid a c-section, but manually moving the baby in my tummy doesn't sound too thrilling. We'll see. Wish us luck. The crib is delayed in the delivery as well:( But the room looks great painted and with the border. Here is a good article. He said I was a fingertip dilated and not thinning out. He said he thought he felt the baby's foot.
12/14/07
37w1dDr. Siegel - u/s to confirm baby is frank breech - butt down with feet near it's head. Heartbeat 152. 50% effaced, not dilated. Scheduled a c-section.
12/17/07
37w4dDr. Heimburger - pre op appointment
12/21/07
38w1dDr. Bernardo - flu-like symptoms, 1 cm dilated.
12/21/07
