We are moving along with this pregnancy, just as we should be! It sure is going by fast! As the baby grows (about a lean 12 inches now!) the belly is growing, too!!! At my last appointment on Friday, we got a great report. My blood pressure is reading very good (WHEW!), as well as weight gain, and measurements. The doctor said I was measuring a little small, so she'd watch out for that in future visits. The baby may have been laying funny, which made my stomach measure a centimeter or two off. The heartrate was in the 140-150's bpm range. This was the first visit that I took Tyler to and he was great. He got to hear the baby's heartbeat, which was so special. He had so many questions as we waited in the exam room. He did a little exploring, too, and as you could imagine, that is pretty funny in a Ob/Gyn office. The nurse was sweet to bring him a juice box and some pretzels to munch on as we waited. Mom was very thankful for that! As we continue on, we have been dicussing the options of whether to do a repeat c-section or a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean). There are so many things to consider between the two. I have a choice (at this point) because I had c-section with Tyler, only because he was breech. We'll take one appointment at a time, and along with our doctor, decide was is best for me and the baby. Stay tuned!

I had my first cesarean because my daughter was footling breech. 3 weeks ago, I VBACed at home. It was incredible! You can read my birth story at vbacfacts.com. Best of luck with your decision!
