I took a new belly pic today but it looks more like a fat pic instead LoL It's a little bigger- or more like I can't suck it in as much ;-)

10 weeks 0 days
10 weeks today- I just can't believe how fast it seems to be going as of late. I felt like the first few weeks just crawled! I think it's because I was anxiously awaiting my appointment. It's unreal to think in 3 weeks I'll be 13 weeks... and my appointment will be 2 days after I'm 13 weeks. I can't wait to hear the baby's heartbeat! Nothing much really new happening- I haven't felt too nauseated (well I did yesterday). Mostly I just pee a lot and have mild heartburn about every day now. Ugh! Very annoying.

8 weeks 5 days
I had my appointment today- finally! It went really well... except for the part where Delilah just wouldn't cooperate. But I have to cut her some slack- we had waited awhile and it was her nap time. Baby looks good and is measuring 2 days ahead. My EDD is now 3/23. I have to have a repeat c-section- Dr. S who did my first c-section put in his report that he did NOT recommend that I try for a VBAC. Which I knew because my midwife A had told me when I went in for my yearly after I had Delilah. When she told me this though she said that when I get pregnant again we can discuss a VBAC if I want to. Anyway, so yesterday she relayed this information again and I asked her if she knew why (which I had asked her before too). She didn't because Dr. S didn't put in a reason. She said that she respects his decision so that meant no discussions. I guess in a way it takes a small weight off my shoulders because then I had the decision made for me and I don't have to worry about what I should do. I'm not sure when it'd be scheduled for but I'm hoping we can schedule it for St. Patrick's Day. No, I'm not Irish- I'm German. But I just think it'd be neat. My next appointment is in September- I can't wait to hear the baby's heartbeat!

7 weeks 6 days
I've made it- well almost. Monday is our appointment. FINALLY! I'll be 8 weeks 3 days. I cannot wait to get in there & see the baby. I just pray that everything is ok (which I'm sure it is since I'm still having preggo symptoms LoL). I'm really excited to have John & Delilah there too. When I had my first appointment with Delilah, John wasn't able to make it. But my mom was so that was really cool to have her there to see the baby :-)
The past few days I haven't been nauseated at all- just hungry ALL the time. Like I just ate a Fiber One bar a few minutes ago & I'm still hungry. Argh! I do try to make sure I eat healthy things since I'm so hungry all the time. That's kind of hard when I want salty stuff & the only thing salty we really have is chips. But I'm happy to say that I don't have those too often.
I've been thinking about having a c-section as opposed to trying for a VBAC. Even though I've always felt cheated of having a vaginal birth with Delilah, I was 100% sure I would go with the c-section. There's a few perks like knowing when your baby is coming and not having to go through labor just to have a c-section anyway. I was also planning on having the doctors "take care of things" while they were in there. With a c-section I could go in to it well rested and not exhausted from having labored for how long. *sigh* This is so hard! With a VBAC there are risks- like you could have uterine rupturing. However I've seen this risk has a pretty low percentage. With a c-section things would be easy however it's still a major abdominal surgery with a longer recovery time than a vaginal birth. I don't know if I'll be lucky again to go on my own this time and so close to my due date which would mean I'd probably end up getting sectioned anyway because I know they won't want me going a week past my due date (because of the PCOS) and they won't (I don't think) induce someone who's had a c-section. I think you're only a good candidate for a VBAC if you go naturally.
Even though I am filled with doubt I'm thinking that we'll just end up going with the c-section. There's just too many what-ifs for me to feel comfortable. Argh... the decisions! Thankfully I really don't have to give this too much thought since I have awhile to decide (agonize over) our final verdict.
Tomorrow I am taking my first belly pic- stay tuned for the posting of that picture plus the ultrasound picture!

7 weeks 3 days
The past two days I have been worried- I haven't been feeling like I'm peeing as much or that I'm as hungry as I usually am (mostly in the morning when I'm SUPER hungry) or nauseated. I almost wished that I would throw up so I would know little pebble is ok. Crazy huh? LoL Today though I got some relief- well so to speak since I felt nauseated most of the afternoon and was afraid I was going to throw up on the way back to take John dinner (I didn't). I've been feeling as though I can't possibly wait for my appointment- now a week from tomorrow. But today I felt calmer about things & I'm pretty sure I can wait patiently. Of course that *is* today- who knows what tomorrow will bring ;-)
I was going through this pregnancy planner I had kept with Delilah- mostly I used it for my appointments & stuff I wanted to put on my registry. The rest of the book was left unused. If I hadn't gotten it for free it would have been a hefty waste of money. Well $20 but still- I used about $5 worth maybe. Anyway I saw that I had my first appointment with Evangeli.cal when I was 8 weeks 6 days. This time I'll be 8 weeks 3 days. Of course that appointment wasn't that bad to wait for since I got to see Delilah when I was 6 weeks 5 days at the fertility clinic at Ge.isinger.
It's so weird- I have food aversions this time & I didn't last time. Now that's not the weird part. The weird part is that I have a hard time looking at food in television commercials. It was all I could do not to gag when different commercials came on showing slabs of steak, chicken, shrimp, burgers, etc. I have to look away because I seriously feel ill. I'm so weird LoL

6 weeks 6 days
What's in a name? For this little one's name I want it to be something unique but not crazy weird. I see names people name their children on the Gei.sing.er website and it's like WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?! I mean come on- don't these people think past these kids' childhood and to adulthood? Do you really think that someone is going to want to hire a person named Cashmyre? Seriously people. We're pretty set on a boy name- I only like one and don't have other options. Although I feel like I should look at other boy names because what if we have a boy & he doesn't come out looking like the name we picked? For girl names I had one I liked from our list when I was pregnant with Delilah. Then I thought of a 2nd one I liked. And yesterday I thought of yet a 3rd one I liked. I know I don't have to worry about this yet and I'm really not- I'll think about it more seriously after we find out what we're having (not until November- ugh!).
Another thing that I've been thinking about that was brought up on my due date board is when will Delilah come to the hospital? I'm going to have a repeat c-section & will be in recovery for an hour. I won't get to even see the baby until I go back to my room. I thought I'd have Delilah be there right away but as I thought about it more I figured that after I'm brought back to my room I want to bond with the baby a little before Delilah comes. I don't want her to be there & feel like mommy isn't paying attention to her. I'd like to have some time with the baby so I don't feel like I'm being torn trying to bond with the baby & pay attention to Delilah. So I think what we'll do is maybe have her come to the hospital after her nap (if I get sectioned in the morning). If I have an afternoon section we'll have her come in after dinner. Again- not something I need to worry about now but definitely something I'd like to get thinking about.
I found the cutest pregnancy planner on Ebay. It's called Prego Planner and it has all the stuff in it that I'm looking for. For Delilah I had this neat thing called The Essential Pregnancy Organizer and also a calendar planner that Ash had gotten me. I decided not to get the pregnancy organizer this time around but I did want a calendar planner. I can't find one anywhere like the one Ash had gotten me. I came across this which is a combination of the organizer & the planner. While I don't *need* all the things in it I would like to have it.
