First, I absolutely ADORE having a midwife! I liked my OB with Tay but not as much as my midwife. She's so helpful and indepth. I never breastfed Taylor and told her how I regretted never trying and how I'd like to BF with this baby. I told her no one in my family, other then my oldest sister who's 18 years older then me and lives no where near me, has ever BF and I have no clue about anything and I shared my fears and talked to me about it for a good 15 mins and said she won't let me leave the hospital until the baby knows how to latch and to not worry. Definitely made me feel better and I feel good about my choice for my new baby. I had my internal, I've gained 2 lbs so far, I had my blood taken, and I got to see my baby! Something I didn't have with Taylor because my OB only did 1 ultrasound at 18 weeks. The baby looked great and had a beautiful sounding heartbeat

She got one measurement length wise and was right on for my March 21st due date but baby was moving so stinkin much she's sending me to an ultrasound place to get another one in another 12 days (earliest I could get in) to properly date the pregnancy. It was so cute to watch it flipping, punching, and kicking all over the place.. what a little miracle. If you got this far thanks for reading LoL. I added words to the ultrasound so my parents could identify everything.. here are the pics.
