week 17

Last week Kaia and I had something in common - we were both 16. She was 16mo and I was 16 weeks. Kind of funny, hu? This week is my 17th, and I'm feeling pretty good. Tomorrow, I have a dr apt and when, I think, I will also be scheduling our u/s for baby. We will be finding out this time around what we are having - w/ Kaia we did not. 

I've been looking @ the hospitals web site where we are delivering and getting excited about doing this whole birthing thing all over again, and for the last time. This will be it for us, 2 is a good number - one for each parent : ) I'm a little worried, I went early w/ Kaia - @ the time though they thought I was only 34 weeks, come to find out the due date was wrong, and I was more like 37/38 weeks. Everything turned out just fine, she was healthy and normal, but given my history, and given the fact that I'd really like to use the birth center @ the hospital, where you must be full term and have no other issues, I'm afraid that things may not go as smoothly this time around.

 It is exciting, to be growing, and starting to feel a little life move and explore inside you. To know a little bit more is exciting too, b/c I know that thats what I'm feeling, and @ the first sign of it I could enjoy knowing what was going on : ) I think this time around too we're going to do a belly cast - don't ask what I'm going to do w/ it afterward - to capture all of this one! I had wanted to do one w/ Kaia, but before I knew it she was here already and I still thought I had a few more weeks, oh well!
