13 weeks (again!)

So, I went to see my OB last week and she said..."you know how the u/s place changed your due date???  Well we are just going to keep the original".  So that's that!  I'm sticking with 12/27.  Which makes me 13w2d today.
 
The appt. went well and she gave me an order to go get another u/s this week (13w5d) for my 1st cervical length check.
 
Other than that...no news to report (which is good right?)

12 weeks/13 weeks

So....today actually marks 13 weeks!
I had my NT scan yesterday and they changed my due date to Dec 23rd (4 days sooner).
The scan went well even though baby was being a little difficult for measurements.  We didn't really get any good pics, but got to hear the heartbeat and see him/her wiggle around.
 
I "came out" on facebook yesterday with this announcement...
 
 
Here is my "12 week" pic (even though it was actually 12w5d)

8 week 4 days OB appt.

The OB appt. went well!
 
We discussed several things.  First, I asked if I could try for VBA2C.  The answer was basically no.  She said the risk of rupture after a 2nd section was 5-7x higher than after just one.  Although I've always wanted to have a VB, I don't think it is worth the risk this time around (plus, I'm getting my tubes tied after this one).
 
Secondly, we talked about C-section date.  She said, so how's Dec 22nd.  I said...no!!!  She kind of laughed and asked why??  I told her that I'd like to wait 'til after Christmas if possible.  She told me I was one of the only people who ever asked to have a C-section AFTER their due date.  As of now, it is scheduled for Dec 29th.  If I go into labor before, obviously I will have the baby then!
 
Third, we discussed my upset stomach.  She said sometimes heartburn can cause diarrhea.  She suggested I take the Zantac everyday, instead of as needed.  I have been doing so and it seems to have helped a bit, but still having some stomach issues.
 
Forth topic was racing!  I had mentioned that I did a 5K at 5 weeks, had another one at 9 weeks and 10 weeks.  She had no problems with this.  Then we talked about Tough Mudder (16 weeks).  She thinks it is ok for me to do if I skip the obstacles.  I agree and plan on doing it unless I don't feel well or the weather is too hot/cold, etc.
 
Next appt. is at 12 weeks right after 1st tri screening/u/s.

8w2d...graduated from RE

Had my last u/s at the RE office today!  It went well.  Everything looked good.  Baby is measuring at exactly 8w2d.  I even saw the baby wiggle a bit!

 
Went and got my b/w done for my TSH.  Hopefully it is good and I can stick with the current dose.
 
I have an appt. with my OB in 2 days.

RE appt - first u/s

6 weeks and 5 days
 
Had an appt. with Dr. M. today.  It was short and sweet.  Saw the baby, saw the heart beat and everything looked good! 
 
I estimated my due date to be 12/27/14, he said the baby was measuring for due date of 12/28/14.  Same difference right?
 
Here's a pic of the little guy/girl??
