So I had my first doctor's appointment this morning... a confirmation appointment. We did the usual... pee in a cup... talk talk talk... stick me in the arm... pay your money and out you go. :) All in all, a good appointment.
We will do the date confirmation in four weeks with a sonogram and OB appointment.
Good news: She's all for a VBAC (Vaginal birth after C-section). I think with my healthy ways it will be a great challenge and one that I am up for.
Bad News: She told me that she doesn't love the idea of me running. :( I knew it was coming in my heart of hearts but I also don't believe her. I feel like I have done a LOT of research on it and as long as I keep my heart rate under control (walk when I need to)... I will listen to my body and forge ahead.
I do have my dear friend checking with her doctor that she's on a first name basis with though. She's battling a crazy Stage 4 melo something lymphatic cancer that's outside of her lymph system and she is amazing. She leaves for Germany in a couple of weeks for her holistic protocol therapies. And her doctor who is the head of oncology for the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota is the one she'll ask. :)
So... for now, I am going ahead. I really want to run my half marathon. It may be slow (to keep my heart rate under control) but I will finish it! :)
