12 Week Update

We had our 12-week doctor's appointment and got to see Peanut. Peanut was moving all around - lots of kicking. We also found out that I have a heart-shaped uterus. The doctor was not concerned but did warn us that it increases the possibility of Peanut not being able to turn and would thus be breech. If that happens, they will deliver Peanut via c-section. Let's keep our fingers crossed the Peanut keeps moving like he/she is now and does a little flip before it's time to come out.

This week, we also scheduled our "big" ultrasound. It will be done on a higher resolution ultrasound machine, so we should get a really good picture of Peanut. At that time, they will also be able to check for abnormalities. We'd also be able to find out Peanut's sex, but we've decided to be surprised at the birth. We have also signed up for childbirth class, which is held over a weekend in December.

I have been working on getting information about daycare. Although Peanut won't be going into daycare until August 2009, I have been told that infant slots are hard to find. It has been somewhat frustrating so far - of the nine daycares in our area, only two might have potential openings. The rest are booked through 2010! Apparently you need to get on a waiting list before you even conceive your child! Hopefully something will pan out.
