It's been a while...but we're having

a little boy. We found out at 18 weeks along during my 'long ultrasound'. I had a 19 week check-up this week and all looks well. Finally got to meet my doctor, although I love the NP!

I've noticed this pregnancy I did not feel the baby as soon as with Asher. I was told at my 'long US' that its due to where my placenta is attached. Its very anterior, so there are a lot of blood vessels and tissues in the way. This week though (actually today of all days, just one day shy of 20 weeks) I feel the baby alot more. Phew...

Labor Day: DC or NYC?

How about both? My twin-in-laws live in each city. My brother-in-law is busy planning his surely awesome wedding there in NYC this December, and my sister-in-law and family have Asher's only-7-month-younger-cousin Henry living RIGHT next to the National Zoo.

The biggest decision we need to make is to fly to NYC first or DC...

Hmmm...

13 week check-up

Baby looked good via doppler with a HR of 161 and at my genetic screen--with the more thorough ultrasound--it was 155 . I've spent the last 2 weeks now visiting my new OB's practice. I'll be delivering at a whole new hospital too! I decided I wanted this delivery completely free thanks to the VA, so I'll be at The Women's Hospital of Texas.

I'm missing out on being so close from where I delivered Asher--my L&D floor was only 4 floors away! But I'm excited to check out and get my own experience from a different place.
