Thanks everyone. Everything went perfectly, of course. The heart beat was such a beautiful sound.
The OB answered all my questions. She's kind of short, not in a grumpy way, but the words were barely out of my mouth and she was all "that's normal" and briefly mentioned that it's up to me if I want meds for anxiety or not. I like that as it cuts me off from diving deep into paranoid delusion. ha ha This OB really is a good fit for me.
Had blood work to test screen for spina bifida and downs syndrome but really not focusing on that. Also requested for a urine test just to see if I have a bladder infection or not. I'm not getting strong symptoms but with my last pregnancy I was discovered to have one and I had no idea.
My scan is on the second and I'm hoping they'll tell me the gender there. If not, I will have to wait for my next appointment on the 15th to get the official report from my OB. I don't want to have to wait 2 weeks!
We finished our Christmas shopping today too. I'm really tired now.

I'm really, really hoping for a girl but I am feeling boy too. The thought disappoints me a little but boys are cute. (potential gender disappointment is the biggest reason I can't stay Team Yellow) I used to always say I'd rather have all boys than all girls and that is still true. I just always hoped I'd have mostly boys and one girl. We'll see though! I thought boy for Red and I was totally wrong.
rayray - ack! I"m so super duper excited for you! I can't believe your little girl is coming soon. Don't worry about updating us on everything. Just focus on what you gotta do and enjoy every moment you have with her. You deserve some selfishness!!!

Starry- 
We knew everything would be fine, but so glad you got that confirmation and can stop worrying (for a day or two...).
Rayray- OMG!!!! I can't believe it's here already!!! Like the others, so so SO excited for you and can't wait to hear all about it and see pictures!!!
Afm, I have an appointment this afternoon. I'm getting a little bored with the appointments. It's nice to hear the HB, but I can do that at home with my own doppler, so it's not a huge reward. And I HATE when they try to measure me... it tickles/hurts. I'm going to ask today if they're going to give me a growth scan... it would be lovely to see her again! It's been so long since my last scan. Anyway, I'm just grumpy because it's a relatively long drive to the office I'm at while my normal OB is on maternity leave (30 minutes from my house and over 1 hour from the office), so I don't really like doing it just to get prodded and asked if everything seems to be normal. They should know by now I would call them instantly if I thought something might be wrong!!

Topanga can I ask what your movments feel like now ? Mine have changed in the last week or so to less kicks and more rolling , waves of movment and pushing a squirming ( its hard to describe really ) hoping its all normal and LO just no room to really kick out anymore ... Lots of ripples too !!

Left - sounds normal to me! I'm sure your little man will start head butting your nether regions soon. Not a pleasant feeling but it's movement....and no....he won't escape that way. lol Though it feels like it.
rayray - thinking of you!! Hope you're well on your way to having your baby in your arms. So pleased for your family!!

She's hereeeeee!!
Sloane Maria (I'm 1/4 Spanish and my Spanish Grammys mother is Maria) Kinne was born on 12/17/13 her due date at 12:29 pm. She's 21 inches long, weighed 8 lbs 3 oz at birth. It's so funny to me they lose weight right out of the womb. She's already 7 lbs 14 oz now... But I guess it makes sense! They go from getting all our food to drinking colostrum.
Anyway- Monday the 16th I woke up to a sensation of squirting discharge into my undies. I had been losing my mucus plug in huge chunks all weekend and having mild to pretty dang painful contractions two nights in a row. When I checked my underwear.. It wasn't mucus. It wasn't pee. It was pretty clear and not thick. I did for a second think "...hmmm.." But then I thought quickly... No way no way it's just discharge. Let my husband g to work even tho he was even kinda like "...Rachel.... That isn't pee..."
All day I was leaking and some of it was kinda cloudy white so I was able to discount it as discharge. I was with my mom and finally a leak wet thru my undies and unto my leggings. With texts from my husband and my mom insisting... I finally called. The nurse of course said- go get checked at the hospital you're delivering at. My husband came home and soon enough we were driving to the hospital. I was for sure thinking we would be sent home. So I was very calm. We get there- they do an fluid test and sure enough... I've been leaking water all day. They admit me. I was shocked. I was leaking the whole day and not feeling more than mild cramping! I kept convincing myself if it was fluid I'd know because labor would distinctly begin!!!
Things didn't start on their own after 2 hours... Oh yeah you guessed it! Pitocin. Around 2:45 my water sac burst open. Then things really got going. Wow. It was really, really intense. I don't know if it was way more so because if the pit- probably. But wow. At about 4:30 am I was 6 cm, having intense contractions back to back and needed rest before the big show so I got an epidural. Couldn't have asked for a better doctor to give it to me & it really took the edge off. I was able to rest from about 6-9:30. At 10:41 my epidural has almost completely warn off and it was time to push. I felt everything while pushing. For 2 hours. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. She was head down but needed to turn. When she did turn it caused her much stress but, she ended up just fine. She was born at 12:29. I sobbed and sobbed and sobbed when they put her on my chest. It is by far the most beautiful experience I've ever had. My GD is completely gone- her sugars are completely controlled and she has no side effects from it whatsoever. They have stopped checking her sugars and mine. I can't express to you the incredible overwhelming since of love and joy I have for her. It's truly amazing.
I am sore from a small tear... But other than that I feel amazing. Thank you again for all the support and love. You ladies are amazing. All of you will soon hold your rainbow baby like my husband and I hold ours.
Please update me on how all of you are.. We are in the hospital until Thursday! Sorry for the long winded story!
