On another note:
Yesterday was our last appointment with Dr. Sarah Schutte, my OBGYN with Lole and two-thirds of this 2nd pregnancy. She's an awesome doctor but because of the policies at Castle Hospital where she delivers, she can't accommodate my wish to have a VBAC. (Vaginal Birth after C-Section). [I had an emergency C-section w/Lole, because her heart rate kept dropping and I wasn't dilating much. They had a hunch that her umbilical chord was wrapped around her neck and (when they cut me) sure enough, it was...twice!] So, my chances of having a successful vaginal birth after that are assumed to be good because it was an emergency last time, and not due to any other inabilities on my part. These last 2 months I deliberated on the option to do a repeat C-section (thus being able to keep my doctor & birthing center) or planning for a "natural" birth with a new OBGYN & different hospital! With Dr. Schutte's support and encouragement, I decided I'm going to try and take one to the Va-JayJay despite my sister (& mother of 3) warning me that I'm not missing out on anything, and my husband doubting whether or not I can do it. (Maybe he's speaking for himself!) I'm so thankful for Dr. Schutte, even her friendly reminder that "I don't wanna be a fat mom" (when pregnant w/Lole) and her more recent suggestion to limit the extra calories, putting it frankly. It's ok doc, I still heart you for bringing my Lole safely into this world, and on your day off no less! Here's the pic I was supposed to take of you two 31/2 years ago! Thanks again!
