It's official
January 20th is my due date.
I'll deliver about a week prior as it will be a scheduled c. (I don't want this to be controversial. This will be my third c. I'm okay with that. I have studied VBAC and I am not a good candidate. If you really want details pm and I will share them with you).
The doctor visit went fine. I really liked the ob who delivered S but she has moved. I seem to have good rapport with my new doc.
We have decided to have some testing due to my age.
In some ways, this pregnancy seems really surreal to me. With my first pregnancy, 15 yo, I hid it until I was 6 months pregnant. There is still a lot of shame and unresolved feelings there. With my second pregnancy, two years ago, I told anyone and everyone WAY early and I didn't care who knew. This time, I am being more guarded. Maybe the testing? Maybe that I knew some people would not be supportive? Maybe that I am somewhat ambivalent?
Jan 20th is a good day to have a baby! Good luck... I have a feeling I will be more guarded this time too. And I can't put my finger on why either.
Ooooh.. a Capricorn! I need an earth sign in my house....
Yippy for new babies!!!

yay!
Hooray - a due date!
I know how you feel - I couldn't tell anyone about Allie for ages - like, months. Several. I still don't know why. I didn't love her any less, wasn't really upset about the pregnancy, it just seemed like a good idea to keep it under my belt.
And fwiw, it's nobody else's fricking business how you decide to birth your baby. You know yourself and the kid, that's what's important.

to bring some more sunshine into the world. If we have another it will be a scheduled C too, my first c was vertical and horizontal incisions so I am not a VBAC candidate. Nothin' wrong with it mama, nothing at all. Glad you felt ok about your new doc.
as far as being guarded, maybe you are protecting yourself, sounds like it just feels right to you to get into this pregnancy more privately this time around. You're a wise soul--it's a good thing to trust yourself and your own process.
Congratulations!
well the twin cities hipmamas will be around to bust you out of the house. It is a dreary time and I too have said "no" to birth December through March but turns out I don't really have as much control over that as I think I do. Hm. I keep getting that lesson over and over in life. 
I've kept all of my pregnancies quiet. The 1st, because he was conceived on a first date , the rest because I just wanted them to be a little private. It's a peaceful time at the beginning and it's nice to keep it lowkey.
