Today Appointment

First and most importantly I passed my glucose screening - Yeah! My hemoglobin is good but oddly my platelets are a little low. I did this with the twins too. Apparently some women develop an immune response to pregnancy which results in decreased platelets. Mine so far are low but fine (149) I know they got down into the 80's with the twins. I'm really not concerned right now because bleeding problems don't become significant until they're under 50 and really, even lower than that. We will re-check the level at 36 weeks unless I have issues before then.

Max is head down, however this changes hourly, and weighs about 3lbs! Blood pressure, urine, amniotic levels all good. So great visit overall. Didn't get any great 3D pics, but I will include what I received.

Now on the every two week visit with every four week US plan. We talked a little about my birth plan - yippee that means its getting closer! - and discussed H1N1 again. Honestly I change my mind daily on what I want to do. Anyway...here's the pics...enjoy!

Friday

This was my most anticipated day as it was the day of my BIG ultrasound!

The twins were so excited yesterday to be getting a chance to see pictures of their baby today. Of course once we got to the office K was bored and S was upset because he thought we were going to take the baby out.

My US was at 10a but I don't think they took us back there until about 10:20a. The tech did all the measurement things first. J came with us and we laughed because she said other than bones, she couldn't tell anything. Before we even got to the big reveal I said that I had thought I had seen a penis a few times. Well I was right. This Christmas I will be getting a brand new son :) Just like everything and everyone said.

When we were done we headed to the mall and did some shopping at Carters, OshKosh and The Children's Place. Now that was fun!

I think I have pretty much decided on a name, but I want to have it for a week or two before I announce it.

Otherwise we didn't do too much as J is leaving tomorrow and needed to get organized.

A Good Appointment

I had my ultrasound this morning. As suspected there is only one little bean. The heart rate was 142 and it measured 6w6d. The doctor was happy with the way everything looked. They did find a fibroid which no one has mentioned before. There was only one so thats good, but of course it might be something that becomes a problem later. Hopefully the pregnancy won't make it worse as I've heard it sometimes can.

I will upload pics later tonight when I can get them on the scanner.
