19 Weeks

Well, we had our appointment yesterday little beluga, and you cooperated!  You've been making me nervous because I haven't really been feeling you lately and I was starting to feel contractions (probably braxton hicks) so they bumped our appointment up a week and we actually got a good listen to your heartbeat for once (coming in at a steady 146 with no defects heard, yay!).  Looks like you're already getting the star treatment!  You doc and I have decided that you are just going to be a difficult little beluga who has to do things your own way, your big brother was so easy, never gave me any problems until the actual birth, so I guess really he made up for his lack of trouble inutero.  With that being said, will you make this c-section easy on mommy?  I'm actually quite scared because of everything that went down last time so if the recovery is even half as hard as it was last time I'll be quite alright with that.

We have your anatomy scan set up for December 6th, 5 whole weeks away.  I could set it up anytime from Thanksgiving week on, but I'm good with that.  Daddy really wants to know if you're a boy or a girl, I just want to make sure you're healthy and happy.

Just stay cooking a little while longer, baby.  Once we hit the 24 week mark I will breathe another tiny sigh of relief, so lets take it one step at a time.

Mommy, daddy, and big brother love you!
