19 weeks 6 days

Today was our anatomy scan and prenatal appointment. We were scheduled for 12:30 but got there 10 minutes early and got called back 10 minutes early too. John was in the bathroom so I had to go run and get him before we could go back. When we got back there the tech started right away. The baby was curled up in to a ball and was nestled low down in to my uterus. I was nervous that the tech wouldn't be able to tell what the gender was but he found it. We're having another girl! We are so excited that Delilah will have a sister and I can't wait to pull out all those cute little baby girl clothes we used for Delilah. After our ultrasound we went back out in to the waiting room to wait (ha, go figure) to go back to see the doctor.

He came in shortly after we got settled in to the exam room and went over the ultrasound report. Baby is measuring 11 ounces, and the heartrate was 159 when the dr. listened to it on the doppler. I'm not sure what the tech said the heartbeat was the tech measured it- I thought I heard 149 but I could be wrong. Anyway the dr. also said that the tech couldn't get all the measurements on the heart he wanted so I have to go back for another u/s in 6 weeks. I'm not worried about it though because I know my friend had that problem with her sons and they were just fine.

I asked the dr. about him doing my c-section even if it wasn't on a Friday. He said his OR day was Fridays but said that if he was in town he could do it. Then he asked why and I said I was hoping to have it done on March 17th which is a Thursday. He said he'd have to bump the dr. out that has the OR on Thursdays for a time slot but he didn't think it'd be a problem. So my c-section is scheduled for March 17th with him. At my last appointment the midwife had said that maybe I wouldn't have to take the Glucose Tolerance Test since I'm taking such a high dosage of Metformin and could do some fasting bloodwork. She wanted me to bring it up to the dr. today so I did and thankfully I'm getting out of that test! O I could've kissed the dr. LoL! Something I've been curious about is it was put in the report he did after performing my last c-section was that I wouldn't be a good candidate for a VBAC but it never said why. I asked him today why that was and he said that when he was in there he noticed that the baby never descended in to my pelvis. I guess it's just not built properly. At least with a repeat c-section though I won't have to labor first and I know the date we'll meet our 2nd little princess.

After our appointment we headed home to wait for Delilah to wake up so we could go out to pick out an outfit as a family. We stopped at Boscov's but surprisingly they had nothing I liked. Then we went to Gymboree so I could look there before we went to Bonton. They had the cutest panda bear stuff at Gymboree but I wasn't paying $16.75 for just one onesie. So off to Bonton we went where we found a really cute elephant outfit. John wandered off and found a beanie baby Hello Kitty doll for Delilah so she could have a big sister gift.
