This weeks appointment was pretty fast. It only took us about 10 minutes. The doctor was everything looked good.
He said the ultrasound pictures form the tech. looked perfect nothing wrong! So that was good. he said I need to get more blood work done in 2 weeks(thyroid and glucose).
The best part of the apt. was when he went to start the ultrasound, he asked Abby who was standing right next to me, if she wanted to hold the wand and see if she could find the baby! She looked at him like are you crazy and then he handed her the wand, put the gel on my belly then told her to move it around and see what we could find. She was so excited. First she found it's little face. Then she was moving it around and we found the little leg. It is laying with it's legs bent at the knee, and it's feet were crossed. When he took the pic it had unfolded its feet, but you can see the foot and leg up to the knee and the 2 little fists next to it. Then she found the heartbeat. He helped he to get a better look and then he measured the heart beat. It was 140 this time.
Then he kind of helped her move it around a bit, and he again found the little girl/boy parts. He asked if we knew what it was, we said no, then he said do you want to know, again we said no. I think it is getting harder every time :) Even with me looking at the same screen, I could not tell what it was.
The doctor started to wipe the gel off my belly and looked at Adrea and said wait do you want a turn to find the baby? She said yes, so he put on more gel and away she went.
She fists found the heart, and we say some more of the legs and arms, then she found the profile, and he took a picture if it for her. Her turn was not as long but she was OK with that. She was excited to get the pictures and see what they found. ( he didn't draw any faces this time :) ) although even if he would have it would be OK because he let them look around.
I thought that was so cool of him. I like him more and more, he is just a good doctor!
