We met with Mr. Midwife this morning for yet another great prenatal appointment. We got a prescription for b/w to test for spina bifida and drum roll..... a prescription for the big u/s. We've been waiting to get this "golden ticket." I can't believe 3 weeks, we'll find out what we're having (granted the baby cooperates). For the record, I suspect that it's a boy.
I'm down 2 more pounds (11 total). Our teachable moment in this appointment included Mr. Midwife giving me a mirror and bringing Danielle down to his level to look at my cervix. He explained the process of the cervix thinning out and becoming effaced prior to childbirth. I haven't checked out my cervix since ttc so it was pretty cool. We were able to listen to SugarPlum's heartbeat. Earlier in the week I started to have some anxiety about how SP was doing in there. I had to reassure myself that the likelihood of m/c at this point is low, that we had a healthy u/s 3 weeks ago, etc but sometimes the anxiety just kind of creeps up out of no where. I wonder if it ever goes away.
Thanks for the feedback on Gracie's bum issue. We are in the process of identifying a Vet for her. She has an appt at a clinic next week for other issues so hopefully they can address this as well.

oohhh!! im excited for the big ultrasound and the boy/girl news! :)
your midwife continues to amaze me, what an awesome appointment!
Yay for another good appointment! And I'm a firm believer in mother's intuition, so if you think there's a boy in there, I bet you're right!
Fun fun fun! I will keep you company in the three week wait. - I will be three weeks away from transfer at that point:)
very exciting and so great that you are getting such good care !
Cant wait until your big u/s appointment!! :)
Your Midwife seems just awesome!
I love your midwife! I consider myself lucky when the doctors angle the u/s monitor so I can see it during my follicle scans. I can't imagine how great it must be to get all of the teachable moments your midwife gives you. I'm so excited to hear the results of your rapidly approaching anatomy scan!
Your midwife does sound amazing!!
Are you going to share your u/s news when you go? I remember we were soooo excited for that appointment.
