What a wonderful day to be Erin Stube. I am so excited to share with you my first doctors appointment and all the fun happenings this pregnancy has brought so far! I don't really even know where to begin, so I think I'll start off with the ultrasound! How fabulous it was to see my growing baby, watch the steady heart beat and know that I am bringing another life into the world in a few short months!! I loved every moment of the ultrasound. Both Jon and Ruthie were with me and we all looked at the little peanut as the doctor introduced us to our new little member!
I really enjoyed my doctor and already began praying she will be with me in the delivery room! She was fabulous! She took her time with us and really answered all questions and concerns. This hasn't been an easy pregnancy up to this point, and I look forward to the day where I can eat again, but I am still so thankful for this little one and can't wait until February. Though, I still don't know how I'm going to love this one as much as Ruthie. Ruthie has been such a joy and I know my heart will expand, but how? It feels pretty full to me! :)
One of our concerns/questions is having a natural child birth. I'd really love to have a natural child birth but there are a lot more risks after having a c-section. Of course, if all looks good, (I should know in 4 weeks) the doctor will do everything she can to help me have a natural child birth, but they'll be watching me closely and making sure there are not any complications.
Another not so fun note is that they are labeling my pregnancy as high risk. I'm not concerned really because I was high risk with Ruthie as well, and my Von Willdebrands really didn't affect the delivery, but still. They are also going to treat me for Gestational Diabetes because Ruthie ended up being such a big baby. And because I was so sick, the tests could have been a little off. We'll see- again, I'm not concerned. I'm hoping a few pricks to the finger and they'll change their minds.
All in all, a great doctors appointment. I see the doctor again in 4 weeks and also have an appointment with the hematologist. How exciting!!
Love you Baby Stube!!
