19 weeks 1 Day

I FINALLY have internet at our new house WoooHooo. I am 19w 1ds pregnant and feeling GREAT at the moment ( besides the backpain). Nothing really changed since my last post, BUT i forgot to mention the discussion i had with my OB/GYN about VBA2C or Repeat C-section.
He said i am not the Perfect Candidate for a Vbac since i have never been in fullblown laor { Kaitlyns Birth does not count because i was induced, and only 18 weeks along}, I also told them that my biggest fear is that my Uterus ruptures during labor and that i could lose Baby or even die during Labor. He said that it IS a risk especially after 2 C-sections. I also asked him how long they would let me go past my due date and/or if they induce me. He said They will NOT induce me and if i dont start labor on my own by 41 weeks i WILL have a C-section... Basically what the Docs would do it Schedule a C-section for 41w0ds and if i go into labor before that date GREAT but if not i will have a C-section. I am torn, i dont want to try and Vbac and Baby goes  into disstress and then have to go through C-section in the end if Vaginal labor goes wrong!. But i would also LOVE to have the baby Vaginally because C-section IS  major surgery after all.
I will have to sit down and talk to T about the pro's and con's in the end Baby's safety is Priority #1 and i might have to forget about my "selfish" wish to VBAC.

Baby has been real active :D His/her kicks are getting stronger and i LOVE to feel my little one!. S/he is still not kicking har enough to video tape it. I see it but it doesnt show on tape :( Oh well maybe next week :)

Can you believe i am about to hit the half way mark already????

18 week check up

This is going to be a short update, since I am posting from my phone. I am 18w2ds today! Today was also my first OB/GYN appointment here at the clinic in ft hood!
I THOUGHT they scheduled an ultrasound today so I was pretty sad when the doc told me there wasnt going to be one today, he saw how disappointed I was so he did a quick ultrasound with one of those old ultrasound machines, but the quality sucked so bad that we couldn't really see sticky bean!
We scheduled my anatomy scan for the 2nd of April and my next OB/GYN appointment is on the 14th (I think) of April.
My vitals are OK, I gained .2 pounds since last week so a total weight gain of 3 pounds.
My iron is SUPER low, so now I am on iron supplements.
Baby is kicking up a storm and hubby is staring at my belly, talking to baby <3 I started feeling AND seeing baby kick on Monday and today is the first time hubby saw it as well <3
I tried video taping it but the kicks won't really show on the video! The lil kicks are not strong enough just yet!
