Big News!

I interrupt our story to bring you some big news! Today I had my first appointment with my new OB/GYN here in Texas. The office is very nice and looks really good. They have everything in the office that you need. So you have the ultrasound tech there, the lab and your OB all in one office. I am not used to this. Usually I have to go around town and go do all my tests. Today we were happily surprised with an ultrasound. We knew it was a possibility since I am new to the office. While we were at the ultrasound we found out what we will be having next! Also found that my placenta is posterior, but low lying. Meaning my placenta is close to my cervix and if it stays it could cover the opening. Which may mean a C-section. The doctor isn't too concerned, but we are going to watch it and see which way it goes. After the ultrasound we met my new OB and, much like my old one, she was not concerned about me one bit. I tend to have easy, low-risk pregnancies.

After we were all done we went on a mission to figure out a way to share the news with Spencer and Ashleigh, who were at school at the time. Patrick found out when we did and he was excited! He was carrying the Ultrasound pictures everywhere! Such a proud big brother to be!

This is part of what we did for them:

Sorry its short we had to cut it down to upload it. We are going to find a way to get the whole video up.

We are excited to have another girl! We are now even, and everyone has someone to play with. Ashleigh is ecstatic! She can't wait to share her room. I am so excited to make it girly and fun!

I have been feeling well. Lots of pelvic and back issues but that's to be expected while I am pregnant, and usually goes away after a quick massage to the area. We have our next appointment in a month with another ultrasound!  Because I am only 17 weeks (turning 18 tomorrow) they prefer to do the big ultrasound around 20 weeks or further. So that will be fun to get another little peek.

Apparently the hospital is very nice and they just remodeled the maternity wing as well. We look forward to taking a tour in a couple months to acquaint ourselves with the location so that we aren't scrambling last minute to figure out where we need to be when it's time. The last baby came quick, so we won't have a lot of time when I go into labor for real.
