Quoting A & E:“ Are you feeling this one much yet? I bet you start feeling it a lot more really soon. This week the movements have picked up a lot for me.”

I actually do feel it a lot. Which is surprising because i didn't feel it until 20 weeks last time. Have you found your incision area more sensitive to the movement? I can feel the baby a lot more down there.

Hurts isn't really the right word, but yeah I feel a lot of pressure on my incision when he's pushing in that area. Kicks/swooshes don't bother it, but the pressure on it is insane.

That's how I feel. It sucks, especially when I'm working.

So my doula has been trying to find a new low intervention ob for herself, because her longtime ob is retiring. So she called every ob in town to get cesarean rates, beliefs about interventions, etc...
Out of like 40 obs, my ob is the only one that called her back. Like, HE ACTUALLY CALLED HER! He spoke with her for like fifteen minutes!
Turns out his cesarean rate is 15 percent.  

I am so impressed and thrilled.

Do you have names picked out yet?

Quoting Ravey Candyass:“ Good luck! Do you have names picked out yet?”

Thanks  

Yeah, we know his name, but we aren't telling yet. His nickname is Norm though, because one of my friends is a smartass   feel free to use that!

Okay.   I need to make a nickname up for this one, but that will wait until the ultrasound. Fathead was Fathead, even at 20 weeks. lol.

Quoting Khryztal:“ How old is she?>”
