First Appointment and Picture

 

We had our first appointment yesterday (January 14, 2013). Everything looks normal and on their schedule. Kicsi is showing as 8 weeks 2 days (3 now) old. It’s heart rate was 169 and it appeared to be posing.

Our appointment lasted 3 hours between the ultrasound, the intake, labs, and visiting with Dr. Thomas. The doctor remembered me from my first pregnancy and is thrilled with my weight loss and lack of diabetes right now. She’s still sending me to the perinatologist for evaluation, but doesn’t think they will need to see me throughout the entire pregnancy. She put me in the “moderate risk” category because of my 12 year diabetic history, but is impressed with my A1C (6.0 without any medication) and thinks I can be downgraded to “normal” once I get checked out by the specialist. Fingers crossed! I’ve made my appointments, they will see me at 12 weeks for my first trimester screening, diabetic counselor consultation, and visit with the doctor. There will probably be an ultrasound though it wasn’t specified. I have my regular 12 week check-up scheduled for the same day. Busy day for 2/11/13. I’m taking the whole day off for a half days worth of appointments, I’m pretty sure I’ll be exhausted. Mom and Grandma should still be here, maybe I’ll get them to chauffeur me around for the day so I don’t have to drive home all exhausted, we’ll see.

So do you want to see the baby? I think it’s actually an alien, and yet somehow, it’s still very cute.

 

 

 

 

 

It looks like it's holding its legs up

the face is in 3/4 profile, like it's saying, HI! loookit me, I'm cute. Which makes sense, considering it will be a Leo.

 

Due date is 8/24 (a Saturday) and they plan to cut it out (I have been notified I will be a scheduled c-section) a week sooner. I'm hoping to hold off until the 21st, my birthday is the 19th (the first Monday of after 39 weeks).

 

We'll see what happens and how this little one grows.

 

Welcome to my life, Kicsi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, this is the body it will be sharing with me, I did not have any plastic surgery after I lost my weight, so it isn't pretty. but i plan to do belly shots with each ultrasound.
