The Details

I suppose it would be nice of me to provide you guys with some details. We went to the OB on Friday. We walked in with our tails tucked because we expected to get in trouble. We were very surprised when the doc couldn't stop saying "this is great!" We gave him all the information we had on the situation, and he came up with a due date of March 6th, which jived with what we had figured. We got the "don't compare this pregnancy with the last" speech and all of the other obligatory stuff. We went in for the ultrasound and when that large thing you see in the previous post showed up Blake said "wait a minute". When we first saw what would eventually become Camden he was a black speck in a world of grainy gray. We just trusted that the doctor knew what he was talking about when he said "this is where your baby is". This thing we were looking at Friday had a head and arms and we could already see and hear the heartbeat. We figured at that point that our calculations were way off. Dr. Pineda took some measurements and informed us that we were not 6 weeks pregnant, but 10. So after we stopped laughing (because we didn't know what else to do), he went through my chart and scratched out some of his previous notes and replaced the original estimated due date with February 8th. So our children will not be a year apart, but 11 months. And I will have 2 children while I'm 32. Not many people can say that, but how many would want to, really? We're finally getting past the shock and onto the excitement about having a new baby to love. Here we go again!

I am still in shock. Did this take place after the Ferber Method you used on Camden or afterward?
