11 Week Check Up

Our Peanut!

"Actual Size" Pretty cool, huh??



Well, everything looks great! Baby was sleeping so we didn't get to see him/her moving (so different than Maddies's ultrasounds ~ she NEVER sat still for any of our scans!). Our little one measures 11wks 2days and is 2 inches from head to rump. We let the doctor know that we decided against the VBAC, so in January I'll be getting scheduled for my C-section (probably around May 20th). I go to a specialist in a week or two for what is called a nuchal translucency ultrasound and to get my blood drawn, all to check for Down's syndrome and spina bifida. I'm hoping that we'll be able to tell by then whether this is a little man or little lady (I'm really impatient to find out!). We'll see, I guess :)


I have felt pretty well, no vomiting or anything. I've had a few days where it came pretty close! As long as I eat every few hours, I feel fine. I've been having cramps from my ligaments stretching and they. really. hurt! I didn't get them until later with Maddie, but the doctor said it's normal to get them earlier with subsequent pregnancies. I also think I have felt itty-bitty flutters (only twice in the last few days), but I can't be sure. It feels exactly the way I felt with Maddie's early movement and I felt her earlier than normal, too (around 13-14wks). Those big, unmistakable kicks and movements are coming soon, though!
