May & June 2022 Munchkins

I had my first appointment with the OB that I was referred to. She told me it would be best to stick with an OB this pregnancy instead of a midwife. I am a little sad about that but understand since there is a chance I will need a c section. They appointment went well, B/P was good. She found the baby in the Doppler right away and baby's heartbeat was in the 140's. I also got my anatomy scan scheduled, I will have it on December 29th and have another OB appointment right after. I will be 21 weeks by then. It crazy to think that I will be halfway through this pregnancy in just a couple weeks. I also started getting a scratchy throat today, I hope it's just from walking my kids in the cold last night looking a Christmas lights that are at the zoo.
 
Crazy - I’ve had a midwife with all of my pregnancies even with the last 3 of them being planned sections. They just refer me to an OB for a couple of appointments near the end to discuss the section details. Don’t know if that’s a possibility for you but maybe something you could ask about! :)

Sammy you’re really popping now! So exciting :)

I had a bunch of plans this week to distract myself from the scan on Saturday but they’ve all been cancelled now because everyone is sick :( Not my family but both of theirs. Anyways, I’ve been feeling super tired today so I’m kind of ok with it :haha: Might take the kids to the library on Friday instead!

I think the c section possibility just added to the list of why they want me to stay with an OB. I also have asthma, pcos, hypothyroid, and a history of gestational diabetes ( only in first pregnancy), fibroid then add the possibility of a C-section and me being 35 now. I'm considered high risk I guess. They have me labeled as a geriatric pregnancy. I was surprised they let me use midwife with my last 2. I was told when I was pregnant with my first that I would always be high risk just because of the pcos. Idk I will just make peace with it I just want the baby here safely so whatever I need to do I will.

Ohhh I see. Yeah I could see with being high risk they’d want you with an OB. My only conflict with midwifery care was the section itself. Ah well, I find with Covid we barely see anyone anyways so I guess it doesn’t really matter :haha: I still haven’t seen my midwife in person!
 
Scan tomorrow to confirm gender! I’m excited and nervous lol. I’ll update here once I know! We’re also planning on announcing tomorrow (unless it’s a boy in which case I’ll have to rethink my picture haha).

Went to Bath and Body works for their candle sale this morning, then I’ll spend the afternoon making sauce for dinner and have plans to light my new candles and read a book tonight - so exciting :rofl:

How’s everyone else doing?
 
I just finished up schoolwork with my kiddos. I am hoping to get some Christmas decorations up once my husband gets home from work. We have been planning to do it all week but something always comes up and we don't get to it. Tomorrow there is a Christmas party with the ladies from my church that I may go to, it depends on how I am feeling though.
 
Good luck on your gender scan today Sander!
 
Im still following here, but just don't find the time to type much... short update on me:
12w6d today and starting to feel a bit better wrt morning sickness. Still headaches, light-headedness and exhaustion, but bothing too bad.
Both my girls and me had a crazy virus this week, but it seems to be winding down now. I never had a fever luckily, just stuffed nose and a crazy amount of coughing up green phlegm all through every night (not helping with my exhaustion). Doc said its just a normal cold, so i was luckily still able to get both my Covid booster and my flu shot today. It's been 12 hours now and not feeling any bad effects from the shots, so hopefully it will all be good.
Had my 12w scan and NT test on Monday @12w1d. Baby measured a week ahead! Jeartbeat was 171 bpm. Both my girls always measured a few days behind (and both went past 40w), so I am wondering if this huge baby is a boy... unfortunately I didn't get any nub shots, but if any of you want to take a gender guess based on skull theory, please feel free :haha:
Next scan will be end of Jan/start of Feb, so will have to wait until then to find out gender for sure. Our prelim genetic tests (Papp-A) all came back with low risk, so we won't do the expensive dna test which shows gender plus detailed risks.

Bloblo I feel like I’ve lost my ability to guess correctly on skull lol. Your picture in particular I wouldn’t be sure about - maybe a girl guess? There’s a group on Facebook that guesses for free and they all got mine right!
 
Had to have another IV the other day. They gave me a different medication though and I’ve felt a lot better since then. Pretty sure now though that I have a uti. Going to go to urgent care in the morning. Also ultrasound next week!
 
Just got done at urgent care. I have a yeast infection. Please pray that the medication they gave me helps and doesn’t cause any negative effects in the baby.
 
Great scan Yoshi! So cute :) Hope your yeast infection clears up soon.

Pretty - how’s your SneakPeek coming along? You should get it back this week right? Exciting!

How’s everyone else doing? It’s gotten quiet here, everyone must be having a busy December :)

Went shopping today for some pajamas for myself - a new old navy opened up at the mall here so I went in a came out with a bunch of baby clothes :haha: It was surreal to be shopping in the girl department! This was my favourite onesie, I bought it in a 12-18 month size cause I figure they barely wear them when you buy smaller stuff. Anything newborn or 0-3 months you get like 6 weeks out of, max!
