I've been in to see the doctor twice. Once to make sure things were ok after some spotting and one "business as usual" check-up where I chatted with my OB about the strong chances that we were going to have a repeat C-section.
One thing, of many, that being Elliott's Mommy has taught me is that I'm not in charge. Being prepared and planning are two different things, so I will be prepared for both opportunities, but planning for one and not the other is short sighted.
We are really excited about baby #2. I'm doing my best to focus my efforts on not throwing up and continuing to function at work when really I want to be buying up everything pink possible to sway my fetus toward being the little girl I have been dreaming of raising my whole life.
Again, I'm not in charge. Baby's gender is determined and the old wives tale about a fast heartbeat being a girl weren't true for Elliott, so we'll wait patiently until December, when we'll have our ultrasound.
Thanks for joining us on this adventure. It is sure to be that. An adventure.
