15-11-2010 - Gender Scan 11-12-2010

My mood while writing this blog: CONTENT

As most of you know, I went to my gender scan last Friday. Before that scan I went for an appointment with my OBGYN for a regular check up. I wasn't sure they were going to let me listen to the heartbeat because they seemed like they were only going to ask questions and send me packing. I asked since it would ease my mind so I know everything was alive and kicking in there. Wellll, kicking it was! The nurse practitioner ( the one who couldn't find my cervix last time) put the doppler on my belly, and the baby kicked it so dan hard it jumped off my belly! Heartbeat was 155 bpm, so I was happy and confident going to my gender scan!!

There was no doubt about it, we are having a little BOY!

He had his little boy parts flying in the air he was really doing a dance in there the entire time. ( Just like his daddy)The tech was getting a little irritated because he was being such a little monkey! What we didn't tell her is that I drank 4oz of Redbull ( i know that's bad and I will never do it again) because I was so afraid the baby would be curled up asleep. The tech had a terrible time doing the measurments but was finally able to get them all and then the doctor came in and told me everything measured normal and we have a healthy baby!!

Now the bad news. My 10cm fibroid is right over my cervix, blocking his escape route! The doubt it will move, and this means a defnite c section. I was very upset because it was one of the first things they told me. I had a lot of hope that I would be able to deliver this baby vaginally. Now all hope seems to have gone out the window for that. I know it shouldn't matter to me as long as he is healthy and safe but I am just so upset about this. I am a mover and I don't want to be bedridden when i come home, I like to do things around the house and might not have the support of anyone else besides my boyfriend to help clean and do laundry. I wanted to be able to do this stuff on my own, I wanted to get around and do what I need to do. I am not so concerned about the scar, just that I have to be cut open and stapled shut and it's not going to be fun. Plus then I have to lay on the table and get put back together and not be with my baby once he is cleaned off and checked over. I am going to be so sad not to have that experience of delivering him. It's so cut and dry, you go in, they cut you open, half hour later your baby is out and then you are in pain for god knows how long. That just sucks. I have spoken to 2 friends who recently had a c section and they gave me some input, it just stinks that I had this whole other plan in my head and now it has to change. That's life I guess so I will just focus on the positive.

So sometime in late March or early May I will be a momma to a new little boy. In a way I was kinda hoping it might be a girl so I can do the dresses and hair and nail painting, but that was not God's plan for me and I am grateful for the little boy he gave me. Now the name game starts. Of course my bf and I cannot agree on ANYTHING so I will update you all with the possibilities!!

I am so happy and grateful that this pregnancy has been a gift from heaven and this little one has been so easy on me so far! I can't wait to see his little face and hold him now!!

Ohhhhhh yeaaaaaa, and by the way a certain someone lost the bet!!! MUM you were WRONG!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
