Default Baby Pritchett update :)

Well it was a big day full of appointments around here! I saw my reg ob, went for an ultrasound, and also went for an appt at the high risk specialist. Whew! Some random tidbits:

1. We did have an ultrasound (my high risk dr does the anatomy scan at 16 weeks), but we couldn't see the gender cause baby had his/her legs tucked up under the tushie. I'm only slightly disappointed as everything looked great, and baby is right on schedule. We will do another scan in 3 weeks to try again.

2. I found out that the due date my dr has on my chart is actually sooner than what I thought! I was going by what the tech told me in my first ultrasound, but since that was only a few days off from my last period, they go by the original date. That makes my due date 2/14.

3. On that same note, because of my blood-clotting disorder and the shots that I have to take, the doctor said that they will likely want to induce me before 40 weeks providing that everything is advancing normally. So, I can plan on having the baby around 39 weeks (with this disorder, the risk of stillbirth and other problems arise the further past 40 weeks you go... they'll be monitoring me very closely in the 3rd trimester, so we'll know when it's time).

So, all in all, it was a pretty exciting day. I'm worn out though!
