1st was the sonogram, and it was on the belly!! I was fully prepared to get my feet in the stirrups, but the tech was like, um what are you waiting for? get on the table. So that was a nice change of pace. No more Dr.Stick!
She pressed kind of hard down on the lower abdomen and we immediately saw them. And they were both moving around this time, almost like reacting to the push they are getting by putting up their little hands like "what they heck lady?" I guess it was because it was belly time, we couldn't really see the familiar flicker on the screen, but he did HEAR it! It was amazing glorious everything. I just don't even know what to think. I'm just stunned, but I'm so happy. And of course she doesn't really let us stop and stare at them, it was picture -measure-done. Can I tell them to slow down?
My subchorionic hemorrhage is almost gone too! Down to 1 cm which is great. I haven't had any bleeding/spotting for a while, so I hope its almost over.
Then we met with the ob/nurse coordinator. She was nice. A bunch of questions, and I had some in return. Got a whole lotta paperwork to read through about all the testing. I touched on them in 2 of the books I'm reading, but I need to go back and really take notes.
Every time I would make an appointment at this practice, it would be with a different doctor. So after the nurse, we went on to the pap part (ugh) and met one of the doctors. I really liked her, and she smelled good.
Overall it was a good experience. I forgot snacks, so I was already starving afterwards and had a small headache.
Because I'm having twins, I'll be high risk. So I made an appointment with the high risk/perinatal doctor for the 21st, and I'll get to see my babies again. I have an appointment with the thyroid doc next Friday, and I still need to see my gastroenterology doc. Oy Vey.
So, the babies. Are measuring 2 days ahead now and my due date has been moved three times now. From July 4th, to July 2nd, and now June 30th. And I turned 11 weeks today-instead of on Saturday. Which is fine by me. Also means, that as of next week I'm in my 12th week! It's so hard to imagine. I'm not really showing yet. I kind of already have a tummy from being, um... curvy. So I don't know when I'll actually start to have pregnancy belly. So until, no belly pics from me - sorry! I can definitely tell the uterus is getting harder.
Symptoms:
- Headaches galore.
- Boobs hurt and they are growing.
- Small morning sickness. Tooth past bothers me, I threw up in the shower (cause I brush my teeth in the shower). Banana's now bother me. The director of finance saw me running out of the office area and into the bathroom with my hand covering my mouth, so she of course knows. There are a few people in the office that know, but not everyone.
- Tired. All.of.the.time.
So so so awesome!
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Sometimes I still feel this is just to unreal.
DeleteGlad those babies are doing so well! I'm jealous you have another scan coming up -- I won't see my bub again until 20 weeks! Eternity away! Xo.
ReplyDeleteI've been super lucky, and I think its just another answered prayer for assurance that things are going so well. My m/c really left a huge scar on my heart as you can imagine, so its been such a relief to get so many chances to see them. I have my high risk apt on Monday, so another chance!
