Week of October 30 Check-In

[sammichcat]

So there was a miscommunication with my OB and they moved up the date of my visit twice and surprise! today was the new date. So I had to scramble to get childcare and get my husband and the appointment coordinated. We managed it all, and we have a healthy baby at exactly the gestation I had guessed. Heartbeat was lovely to see, but it was still too early for movement.

But, getting childcare meant spilling the beans to family earlier than I'd like. And to DS#1.
Who proceeded to ask if I might actually have a baby owl inside me instead of a human.
Sorry kid, tough luck.

3. What and when is your next appointment? Nov 7. First one with the midwife.

4. Anything you’d like to share? We'll probably finally tell our parents this weekend. MIL will be coming to babysit so it will be perfect timing.

3. What and when is your next appointment? Nov 16 - 7 week scan (I am high risk and see an OB and MFM so I have lots of visits)

4. Anything you’d like to share? I definitely didn't have an apple cider donut for breakfast, if that's what you mean.

5. QOTW: What was/is your favorite treat to see on Halloween? The family on our corner gives out full-size candy bars, so obviously they're the real heroes.
