I'm a new mom...I have 2 boys. I'm an 'older than most' mom at 41. I remarried and my hubby doesn't have any children, so we decided to try and guess what? My baby is 18, but both boys are tickled to have a sister. I'm afraid sheis SO SPOILED.
Everything is going well. I have gained more weight than 3 pounds, that's for sure. I always gain weight during the holidays. Too many tamales and chocolate. I still fit in my pre-maternity clothes except for the belly part. Yes, my little moves lots. I can't believe she's going to get even bigger. My doctor is 42 and has a 3 year old and she kind of preferred the amnio because it bought her peace of mind. Since I decided against it, I'm sure she'll drop it. I'll see her today at 3 to hear the heart beat. My teenage daughters will accompany me. This is their second visit with me. They are just so excited about their little sister.
Wow, and you are due on the 18th? I'm due on the 9th. That's pretty cool we even have close due dates. I got a sonogram at 7 weeks because I had some spotting an then again at 9 weeks, 5 days. The fetus grew so much in that short time. The baby looked like a gummy bear. So cute.
A girl huh? Is that what you are wishing for? ARe you going to have an amnio? We decided to have one and it is scheduled for Oct 8th. I'm a little nervous but at least we'll be ready for what is coming. I've never had to have one before. I was in my early 20's when I had my first two. You probably understand how I feel. I live in San Antonio, Texas. I've only been to Florida once- Disneyland road trip. It was great.
