Everything is good

Well I went in today and had a sono. The baby looked great! The heart rate was 160 something and it is almost 6cm long from crown to rump. Still couldn't tell what Cletus is but he/she has some long legs.... They took blood from me to run some test and they also gave me a shot. They said that any time there is bleeding I have to have the Rhogam shot. Of course my insurance doesn't pay for it so there was another 116 bucks out of pocket. If anyone is thinking of any x-mas gifts for me a gift card to the pharmacy would be great! :) My next appt isn't till Jan 9Th. Hopefully I will find something to write about before then.

Here we go again!!

Well I had my appt with my new Dr. yesterday. Her name is Julia Flowers and she was really nice. I liked the office but it was a pain in the butt getting there. It is connected to Baylor Grapevine so you have to park (that in itself is a task) then you have to hike to the building then you have to wait for the elevator and ride up to the 5th floor... kind of wears you out!! Especially someone in my state! The exam went well. I got to hear the baby's heartbeat but did not get to see it... :( She said everything looked great and is having me come back in 4 weeks. Can you believe I have to wait four weeks. I do have to go today and do blood work though...OH Boy!

Well I guess since I was stressed out about not getting to go back for 4 weeks God threw me a little curve ball. This morning (well more like the middle of the night) I got up to go to the bathroom and there was blood.... Not like a TON of it but more than Ive seen so far. It was still going on this morning when I was getting AJ ready for school. I'm hoping that it is from the pelvic that she did yesterday... I called and left a message for the nurse so that I can maybe get a sono today too. So if you could please say a little prayer for us and the baby. Thanks!! Em

Long Time....

Well I guess I'm either getting a little busier... or Ive just been feeling a little better. No drama...and believe me that is just fine. I went for my appt on Monday and everything looked great! The baby is now just about 2 inches long and you can totally see its arms and legs and fingers and stuff. It is amazing!! This was my last appt with Dr Nackley. I'm sad because she is SO AWESOME!! She is a very good and caring Dr. I will miss her but I'm also excited about "graduating" from her office. While it was nice to see the baby every week and get that reassurance... it was also 30 bucks a pop. With Austin we payed our 10 dollar copay on the first appt and then never had to pay another dime... even at the hospital. Not so lucky this go around... but we are willing to pay whatever we need to for a healthy baby.

I go for the first time to Dr Flowers on Monday. From what Iver heard she is a really great Dr. Susan said that one of her friends tried to get in to see her and they told her that there was a 6 month. I called last Friday and got in a little over a week later. Love those Dr referrals. Well my belly is starting to get bigger. I now have bruises all over my thighs and stomach....don't worry we are trying to get Chris into an anger management class before the baby gets here.....JK

I will let you know how the appt on Monday goes.. Later. Em

Still Trucking!!

OK so i haven't written anything in a while.... which to me is a good thing!!!! So I'm at about 10 weeks and 3ish days now. We went to the dr on Monday and Cletus is getting SOOO BIG!!! He is only 3.38 cm though. We could see his little arms and legs and even his fingers. We could see the amniotic sac and the umbilical cord too. It is awesome! They checked my progesterone level on Monday and it was still low.... a 13. So needless to say i have to continue the suppositories. I go back next week for my last visit at Dr Nackley's office and then she said I graduate to another DR. Everything is looking pretty good so far... (except for my gut).

So Ive started looking at maternity clothes now. Let me tell you..... I guess the people who make them are like Amish or something... cause they are all BORING or ugly!!! Nat went with me to Kohl's yesterday to look. It was so scary. She would hold something up and say with a weird look " how bout this" and I was like.... OK i wouldn't wear that normally why would I wear it when I'm big and fat. I'm gonna go into maternity designing or something. Oh and then the ugly butt shirts are like 4o bucks... what the hell!!
