First Doctor's Appointment

So I had my first OB appointment today. I wasn't expecting much since the nurse said all it would consist of was paperwork and getting my history. When I got there the doctor was at a delivery so we had to wait about an hour. When I finally got in they told me they would be doing an ultrasound. This really surprised me since with Eric I didn't have my first one till 12 weeks, and that was only because the doctor couldn't find the heartbeat with the Doppler. Anyways, so I called Tony to get him out of the car, and we got to have our first ultrasound. It was awesome! Tiny little thing, but still really cool. The baby measured at 1.95 cm which puts me exactly where I thought I was, almost 9 weeks, and my due date December 4th(even though the doctor wants it at December 6th and I have no idea why). Eric was 10 days early and was 8.15 lbs, which I informed the doctor of. He said "Oh, well we'll definitely keep an eye on this one." Yet still moved the due date up 2 days. Also, after I told him I had had a C-Section with Eric he told me I had to have a C-Section with this one. I really don't want to have a C-Section and all the research I've done says a VBAC is totally safe and very common now a days. He said the hospital won't allow it. Somewhat frustrated. I think I'm just going to ask not to have a C-Section, they can't make me have one if the baby is safe, right? Anyways, that's my story. Very exciting and I can't wait till my next ultrasound.

Doctors

Went to the doctors today. I'm definitely pregnant. :) yay! My doctor was actually able to refer me to a gyno that comes up here once a month, so I won't have to make so many visits down the hill, which is awesome. I still haven't told anyone from work yet, just friends and family. I'm really debating whether or not I'm going to find out the sex. I had decided that I wanted it kept secret, since I've already gone through the experience of knowing a head of time, but now I'm starting to second guess myself. My mom says finding out during the ultrasound is the same excitement as finding out during the birth, (she's done both), so I'm not sure. Also, Tony says he wants to know even if I decide not to, and I know that he'll tell someone. I have a strong feeling that it's a girl. According to the Chinese calendar, which is supposed to be like 95% correct, it's gonna be a girl. I'm also feeling a lot more nausea than I did with Eric, and...I don't know....I just think it's a girl. I really want another boy, but having a girl will be lots of fun...and drama I'm sure. So, any thoughts about knowing the sex or waiting till birth? Please share! Thanks!

It's starting

So, I'm already starting to feel a little yucky. I had a great pregnancy with Eric, no morning sickness and not many mood swings (I didn't say zero, but not many). I'm already starting to feel REALLY tired all the time, and my tummy just doesn't feel right when I think of any type of food that isn't perfect. It's a different experience, one that I hope I won't have too long. Other than that, things are going pretty good. I have a doctors appointment on April 9th and my doctor will refer me to an obgyn after that. You can't have babies up in Big Bear so I'm sure he or she will be down the hill. I'll update often.
