Appointment today,registered for baby items and daddy felt the baby kick!

Tuesday night DH felt the baby kick for the very first time.I had been feeling the baby kick and placed his hand just to show him where,not thinking even for a minute that he would be able to feel it.Than all the sudden our miracle decided to give a good kick right in the same spot.I didn't have my hands on my belly but dh had his hand on my belly and we both were like did you feel that he just kicked.I couldn't believe he felt it too.I kept asking him if he was sure and he was grinning from ear to ear saying "that was so cool!".He was positive that he felt it.So we hit another mile stone.We also have been working on another which is registering for the stuff for the baby.We have registered at target and babies r us so far.(even though babies r us is about an hour away from us)Target had very slim pickings and everything seemed to be out or low.It was so surreal being the one to create the registry not just the one to buy someone else gifts off theirs.The difficult thing is that BRU advises against registering for clothing as it tends to have a high turnover and target's scanner won't let you.So we were unable to pick out clothing for him.And there is some very cute monkey outfits out,seems to be popular this year.I have a appointment to get the results of my anatomy scan/hematoma check today.I am a bit nervous but hoping it will be good news.I will update after I get home.My appointment is at 3:00pm.I also am including a late 18 week belly shot it was actually taken when I was 18 1/2 weeks but better late than never, I am currently 19 weeks 1 day.I just looked at them and wow do I look pregnant.Haven't weighed myself lately and not sure I want to but I know tomorrow at my appointment they will.Well girls you all take care and I will post again soon.

The big reveal!!!

Sorry it has taken a while for me to post about this but my morning/anytime sickness has returned and I have been very queasy and puking for the last 2 days.No fun.It joined my migraines and my bad chest cold I have and made me one miserable momma.The u/s went good and we got some pics of our darling baby.I will not get the actual results until my appointment on thursday july 30th this coming week.However the tech asked us if we wanted to know the gender and we were like "of course" and as she was looking and measuring everything she got a great bottom view with legs spread.And it's a BOY! He was moving all over the place he was so active and kicking and as usual he was stroking his precious little face.In all of the u/s's that we have had since about 10 weeks he is always rubbing or touching his face,it's adorable!He likes his thumb too.Now for the other news it looks as though the hematoma may be gone,I asked the tech if she could see it and she said she didn't at all.I am cautiously optimistic that it is gone as I do know other women from my hematoma online support group that were told they couldn't find theirs just to have them show up 2 weeks later on u/s.It has been 5 weeks since they looked at mine and the majority do resolve by 20 weeks if they are going to.So anything could have happened.I am hoping that the daily prayer for the baby's safety and the healing of the hematoma has worked.When the tech was doing the measurements etc she was like he is breech right now and then later she was like now he has turned around and now he has again.He is so active which makes me feel better that he is doing well,It was kinda cool because she could tell me what was where in me so I knew if it was a foot or an elbow that was kicking or hitting me.I thought I could tell when he turned because I had a lot of pressure and aches (which she told me I was right) and she was able to let me know where some of my discomfort came from and make it seem normal by explaining why and what I was feeling.So I now know a kick from an elbow bump.It was great to watch him and be able to relate it to my sensations.Girls I am so in love and this made it so much more real! No more saying it kicked or it moved, now I can say he kicked or he moved.Next phase is naming our miracle.So in closing I would like to say I had a feeling it was a boy and even voted boy on my poll.I did not share this with DH or anyone as I did not want to suade anyone one way or another.But for some reason I kept visualizing a boy and here he is.I love him just love him!!

Here's one of his tiny feet!


Here's a good profile shot.


Here is a 3D shot of our precious baby boy,it was love at first sight,he looks so peaceful all snuggled up in there.


Here is another 3D pic in this one he has his mouth in an "O" shaped like he is saying "oh" or is ready for a bottle.We got a few other's but they are not as good because he was moving so much.


They got a good shot between his legs.This is a view from the bottom looking up.They have an arrow on the umm part we were looking for LOL.

catching up, baby now kicks!

It just occured to me the other day that I have never shared with all of you that I felt the baby move for the very first time on June 27th.I was just laying very still talking to DH and it was a feeling that I had never felt before.I described it to my OB and she said that she was pretty positive that I had felt the baby move.Which that is what I thought when it happened,DH got so exited the day when it happened.I now know for sure that was our little monkey as it happens way more often now that I am almost 18 weeks.I was 14 weeks and 3 days the very first it happened.Which is earlier than most but not unusual.The best way to describe it lately is a feeling that someone is tapping you from the inside,kinda like if you were to take your finger and tap the inside of your cheek.It doesn't hurt just a fluttery feel that happens over and over in the same spot for the moment that it is happening.But changes to a different spot the next time.The baby kicked several times in church this morning it really caught me off guard :-).I can't believe we find out what we are having in 3 days!! On a another note my mom is paying for our family and my sisters to take the Badger which is a big boat and car ferry, over to wisconsin on wednesday.We are only doing the day trip where you ride the 4 hours there and spend about 2 hours in wisconsin (manitowoc) and then you ride the 4 hours back.She thought it would be a nice to treat all of us since everyone is struggling due to the michigan economy plus there is a deal right now where kids ride free so that is 4 free passengers.And I guess we qualified for a special rate since we are doing the day trip and not taking a car.Do any of my fellow bloggers live close to there? We would arriving there at 11:00 am your time.We are getting ice cream somewhere close to the boat and then leaving after our time is up.They have activities on the boat for the adults and kids.They also have a deli and cafeteria.So it will be one big day of cruising the big lake for us.DH gets seasick so this should be interesting.We went on a cruise for our honeymoon last year and those boats are huge and he still had a problem for the first few days until he got his sea legs.Now this boat will be much smaller and it is supposed to rain so there could be rough waters.I am gonna bring the dramamine and some bags for him, just in case. ;-) Well girls I should head to bed, you all take care and God bless you!

The wait is on

Waiting for this next u/s is agonizing.It is 12 days away and we are so excited to find out what we are having.It looks like the majority of you think girl.That is what we have heard a few times from our nurse since the baby's bpm runs so high.But I also know that it is not a positive indicator of gender as some boys have had high rates too.Probably like all old wives tales there is some truth in it but also a rate of incorrectness.I never did blog about our last u/s which was about three weeks ago now so here goes.I had my u/s at the birthing center simply by chance because the hospital was all booked up.Well let me tell you what a difference there was.The tech was so sweet and she showed me the screen while she was looking at the baby and said"aww look there's your baby!". She completely involved me and dh and even my boys.She showed me my hematoma and let me watch the baby for a while.She then gave both of my boys their own pic of the baby and us a whole strip of pics.It was wonderful and non stressful.She even told us the heart rate when I asked which was 173 bpm.I requested that my next u/s which is the gender one be performed at the birthing center and that is where they scheduled me YEAH!On another subject I have to say that I feel so much better now that I am off the extra meds (estrogen,PIO) I always thought how I was feeling was normal pregnancy symptoms but it wasn't.I feel like 75% better.What a difference all those extra hormones make.My hips are still sore and numb,my OB says it is most likely nerve damage and it will take time to heal.I do have to recommend getting a doppler it has been wonderful especially if you have had a scare.We ended up purchasing ours instead of renting since it would cost about the same to rent it the whole time.It actually was cheaper where I bought it from and it is the exact same one the other company rents out.Plus it's ours to keep and use for our next baby.If anyone ever wants info to the site just let me know as they had wonderful deals.We own ours for the price it costs to rent it from the other place for 5 months plus it came with a very sturdy case,2 tubes of u/s gel,free shipping and a free digital thermometer with each order over a certain amount.I do not know if they have any specials right now but they do them often. Well I guess that is it for tonight girls I will leave you with my 16 week belly shot and a picture of our monkey that was taken on 6-23-09 about 3 weeks ago (13 weeks pregnant).It will be 5 weeks total until we see him or her again, which is the longest we have ever gone.

Take my new poll, do you think I am having a boy or a girl

I just added a new poll just for fun.I am curious what everyone thinks I am having, a boy or a girl.Now remember genetics doesn't play into this at all.As this little miracle as well as my two precious boys are adopted, all from different families.The poll closes the day before our gender ultrasound.Tomorrow I will be posting new belly shots (16 weeks).

gender scan scheduled!

I had my follow up doctor appointment today at which I discussed with the doctor my concerns about waiting for results.She said that it was no problem and that I could get my results sooner just by calling and that maybe her nurse was having a bad day.So hopefully that is all resolved.Also I found out that my hematoma has grown,not exactly what I wanted hear but she said it was minimal growth like 1cm but still that is big enough for me.She said it may not even be that it is growing as much as stretching as the baby grows.It is hard to know what the stinkin hematoma is doing now since my u/s was almost 2 weeks ago and those results are basically old now.We have our next u/s in 3 weeks which will put us at 5 weeks since we saw our little miracle.But this will be the big u's where we get to find out what gender our little monkey is.We are so excited and know that the time will just drag by until then.We are partially anxious to find out as we need to plan, with DH laid off and being a stay at home mom.Things are tight, so I want to start trying to get cheap baby stuff and clothes.Also the reality is I probably won't make it to my due date so we need to be prepared 3 months ahead of time which is only 2 months away.The fact that I have endometriosis puts me at risk for delivering early as well as having the hematoma.I belong to a online group of women who have hematomas and the average pregnancy length for them seems to be anywhere from 27-34 weeks.With most falling in the 30-34 range.I am not sure how my endometriosis might play into the final due date exactly.Basically I have two risk markers for early delivery and we don't know which one or if any will affect me.My doctor today told me to have all my ducks in a row 3 months before my due date so that is what I plan to do.I am hoping we can secure what we need ahead of time so that DH won't be overburdened with me, a newborn and my 2 boys plus not having the supplies we need.I really don't think I have a feeling one way or another on if we are having a boy or girl.Sometimes I think girl others I see a baby boy.My best friend is convinced I am having a girl, just because that is what she thinks,no reason behind it all lol so we will see.Well that is about it today I will keep everyone posted and will be adding a ticker to countdown until our gender u/s in three weeks.We are having it on July 23rd at 11am.Hugs to you all and thanks again for all the support and kind comments.Also I want to mention that I received a very kind and thoughtful email from a women whom I did not know this morning, it touched my heart as she was kind enough to share her story with me and pray for me and my little one.I felt so blessed to have opened that email and read her kind,reassuring,and heartfelt words.If you are reading this Allyson I want to let you know that your letter touched me.I also what to thank Gretchen for sending a cute card in which she too wrote some very kind and inspiring words that served as a great smile maker for me :-).It is always nice to get something other than a bill in the mail,especially something as sweet as that.Again hugs to you all and God bless!

14 week belly shot a little late,PIO shots question and a update

HI everyone seems like it has been awhile since I posted.Partially I have been really busy playing catch up after being released from bed rest and also because my headaches have been often and intense.I had a u/s last week on Tuesday of which I have yet to get the results from.I did get the nurse to at least tell me the heart rate on the baby.And she said the doctor looked it over briefly and said everything looks ok and told the nurse that she would review the results when we came in a week and a half later.UGH! The nurse on the phone then informed me that I would no longer be getting results of my u/s's until I came in for my appointment.I was like what!!All I know is my appointments are always scheduled 1 1/2 to 2 weeks from my u/s since my OB is so busy.It just seems a bit unfair to me since by the time I get the results things could have changed (for example the size of the hematoma) and it will be old news when I receive it and time for a new u/s.Overall I am learning that the OB that may be great for yearly's and normal feminine needs may not always be the best to have when you are pregnant.She is way overbooked and way too busy.Always running behind,I think our longest wait was 2 whole hours.And now I will have no info on "my" pregnancy after the u/s until 1 and half to 2 weeks later.You would think they would like to give the stressed out pregnant mom some peace of mind and not stress her out more.So I guess I am curious for those of you that are pg how does your OB handle things like results,are you made to wait that long?? Still no luck on craigs list or any other avenue for maternity clothes.I just do get it I am in michigan of the fatest states in the nation what's with all the tiny maternity.Can't a girl get a large geez! I have considered what's happening is that that's just it that since there are more larger people that is why all the tiny clothes are left everywhere.I think the larges go fast.Which sucks for me.My body has continued to change I look different than I do in the pic I just posted.My weight has stabilized and I think I actually lost weight but my belly is still expanding.I haven't been very hungry lately.I did get my first belly rub at church from one of the elders a couple weeks ago.They were like "aww baby" rub rub rub.I am used to DH doing that but it may take a while to get used to other people just coming up and rubbing the belly.Also I know it early but I could have sworn I felt the baby move like rotate itself on saturday the 27th.It was a feeling I have never ever felt and felt like something rotated in my uterus but it was a very fluttery feel.I was laying very very still when it happened.Only time will tell as the baby moves more and it feels the same as what I felt then I will know that was what it was.I had another question for anyone that had to do PIO shots,how long did it take until you had no more pain from them.I have been off them for 2 1/2 weeks and my backside is till sore.More like it stings like someone has snapped me with a very large rubber band over and over and over again on both sides.I also have some lost feeling like it is partially numbed.Soft touches like when my hand grazes the area pulling my pants up or down feel like the area has been shot up with novacaine,like when you go to the dentist.But I am still very able to feel pain.It is very hard to explain but very scarey.I am glad that after I went off them I was better able to walk instead of waddle after about a week.I was on them for almost a month total.It was so bad at the end that my poor hip would jump or spasm when DH gave them to me.It hurt so bad it felt like my skin was blowing up like a balloon as he injected it.It stung soooo much.So I am interested in evryones else experiences with this.Well I think that is all for now girls I miss hearing from you all and hope I do soon((HUGS))

no one told me about this

I never knew that my nails would get like this being pregnant.I don't attribute it to the prenatals as I have been on them since 1998.My nails have always grown pretty good but would break shortly after getting close to as long as these are in the picture.My nails now have been very strong and growing fast.I just wanted to share a pic with you all because right after I took it I cut them all off.It was getting impossible to type or do anything that I am used to.LOL Oh well I am sure they will be back.

long time no post

First I would like to say thank you for all of your kind comments when I was feeling so down.Secondly modified bed rest is way easier than strict.We did end up going to that wedding on saturday and that was nice.It gave me a chance to get out and socialize but also I love to dance and I couldn't :-( I have some cute photo booth pics of DH and me and my best friend and me from the wedding as they had a photo booth where you could take pics as a keepsake. It was a really neat idea! I remain discouraged by my weight gain but I guess that happens when you are put on bed rest and are not allowed to exercise.I have a follow up appointment with my OB tomorrow.She will at that time schedule my next U/S.I am sure I won't get any more information regarding my hematoma as everytime I ask anyone (OB,the other OB,and the nurse practitioner) anything about it that always talk in circles and say "it's a wait and see thing".Which I understand that it is something they cannot predict.But it seems as though the only real info I have gotten has come from online.I am hoping that I am one of the women that has it disapear by 20 weeks ( I guess most do) a fact that I picked up online but was never told.They did however confirm it when I asked about it.I now understand why so many fellow bloggers say they miss their RE.You get such individulized attention there and ALL questions are answered with care.I sure do miss mine.My OB is overbooked and unavailable most times.My RE was a very busy man but planned his day well.I am now 13 weeks pregnant it is hard to believe.I do however have a 12 week belly shot that I will post as I do them only every 2 weeks.I will post the wedding pics after I scan them in later.Well girls I guess that is it for now.

12 weeks, first full OB appointment,feeling down and u/s results on hematoma

Well I am 12 weeks today.The baby sure looks different in my ticker now,what a change.I had my first OB appointment today at which I got the wonderful old papsmear and pelvic check.She also checked the heartbeat with a doppler which she found it imeddiately.I am jealous of their doppler as it is heavy duty and sensitive.Oh well the bigger the baby gets the easier it will be for me to find it.I did get permission to go to a wedding that we are supposed to attend on saturday,but I was instructed to take it easy,nothing crazy.As if,I haven't been feeling that good lately plus the stress of the hematoma so there is no way I would even consider anything beyond eating and maybe a couple slow dances with hubby.We have already decided we are not staying long.I have been put on modified bed rest which allows me to do a few more things but no lifting,cleaning or ummm intimate relations with dh. :-( I also have to rest often and take lots of breaks with feet up.The u/s showed that the hematoma had increased in size from 4.7 X 1.7 to 5.2 X 3.0 X 3.0. I do not know why I was not given a third measurement on the first one but I wasn't.I cried yesterday after I found out I felt like I spent 3 weeks on bed rest and it didn't get any better.Being on bedrest has brought on some depression for me, along with the frustration that nothing fits.I have tried searching craigslist and classified in my area but it seems like all the maternity clothes around me are for X-XS-M.I wish I was that small but I'm just not.Where in the world are all the women who wear L-XL maternity?? I have had plenty of time to search the web with no luck on stuff I can afford.I wish I could be out checking yard sales but I am still not allowed a ton of walking.They said they may let me go to the ZOO this summer but DH would most likely have to push me around in a wheelchair.Sorry I am so down but I have been a roller coaster ride these last 3 weeks.I have been crying more often as I miss out on things and people never come to see me.And some barely call it's as if I have just fallen off the earth.I feel forgotten at times.I don't have a lot of family and who I do have just doesn't seem concerned or like I they expect me to MC since I have before.So they don't really acknowledge my PG.Maybe me thinking that, that is what they are thinking is in my head but it sure feels that way.Sometimes I wish I had family that was supportive,that wanted to visit,to drop off a meal,that called after my appointments to see how things are.But I just don't and it hurts and I have plenty of time to think about it as I rest.On the postive the longer I make the better the chance for the baby,they said today that most of the hematomas resolve themselves by 20 weeks.I am 8 weeks away from 20 weeks so I am praying it leaves by then.If it doesn't then it will most likely stick around for the whole pregnancy and possibly cause preterm labor.My next appointment is on Monday and they will order another u/s at that time.I will everyone posted.Also lately my PIO shots have been really hurting me,like to point of crying.My skin on my hips and backside sting all the way across like a horrible sunburn (it won't go away) and when the PIO goes in lately it feels like my skin is going to burst as it burns and aches so bad.I have no idea why they have gotten so much worse expect that maybe my backside has most likely had enough.It is hard to be on bedrest when your backside hurts so much.I just can't seem to get comfortable anymore.Sorry for such a depressed post but I can't shake it right now.

Heard the heartbeat on our home doppler!!

I just had to post to say that we heard the hearbeat and saw it on the display for the very first time tonight at 11:45pm.Up until now we had trouble finding it and knowing if it was mine our the baby's but this time it was unmistakable since it was beating twice as fast as mine and the display said 171 just like the u/s today said it was 171.Now we know our doppler works.I know we were trying a bit early before but I had read about people finding it earlier than 12 weeks so we thought we would try.Up until now it has been unsuccessful.We started trying at 10w or so.I do have to say to anyone that is considering a doppler that they can be a bit tricky and it takes patience and practice so don't give up.((HUGS))

waiting to hear the results from the OB

I had another u/s today and as usual they are not allowed to tell you anything.I had a VERY scary moment when I thought I did not see a HB or movement.I laid there thinking the worst watching the tech work and she kept taking pictures so fast that even DH said it made it hard to see. She would not sit still for too long on any one view.(plus she really didn't have the screen pointed my way at all,I had to turn my head to see it even a little)I finally piped up and asked DH since my heart was racing and I prepared myself for the worst"did you see the baby move at all?" to whch he replied "yup".I was so scared girls, I can't even tell you.I am always scared before an u/s.I am half excited and half scared.I never speak in the car on the way there partially because I am mentally preparing myself for things not to go well.DH has noticed this and has begun to ask brief questions like "are you doing ok?" and brief statements like "I love you".I always give brief answers so I can quickly retreat into my inner thoughts.So here is what I know atleast until the doctor calls as relayed by dh,the baby was sucking it's thumb when they first started looking at it.He said he saw the baby jump around and it's HB.She went so quick today that he thinks the measurements were 5.17 cm and HB of 171.We will know for sure when they call either today or tomorrow.Also I will finally know if the hematoma shrank,stayed the same or has gotten larger.I will also know if I am off of bedrest, still on strict bedrest, or on moderate bedrest.I will update everyone as soon as I get the call. Also we got some pics from today that i will post later.I did see the baby rubbing/touching its face today which warmed my heart.That was after I asked about movement, I think the tech tried to comfort me my slowing for a second so I could see.

OB appointment today and new u/s pics

I had my follow up appointment today and it went really good.I have another appointment at the hospital to check on the hematoma and the baby in a week.I also have my full OB workup appt on the 10th plus another appointment a few days after that.I guess I will be seen a lot lately, which is comforting.I love seeing our little monkey on u/s.We got to see our little monkey today and he/she was jumping around, kicking,waving its arms and doing summersaults. Very very active , which is so comforting.Then we got a pic of it sucking its thumb (top pic).We also saw it lounging with its arm above its head when we first started the u/s that was how it was laying. Then all of the sudden our monkey realized we were there to see him/her and began showing off for us.It was adorable.I am still on estrogen,PIO and bedrest.Although I was given permission to sit outdoors as much as I want as long as I am sitting with feet up.She said I can go to the occassional movie or dinner. But that is it.And to keep it very minimal.So that is the update for now baby is doing very good and the bleeding has been gone for over a week.Praise God!Thank you for all the continued support and prayers.

Official update

The doctor's office called yesterday but I am just now getting around to posting as my computer is way slow for some reason.I had a friend of mine that fixes computers come over and he thinks it's my modem so I have to call the Internet company tomorrow, lets hope they replace it for free.Bad time for it is one of the only things getting me through bed rest.Well the nurse called and her report on the baby was the same as DH told me.And she said the baby is measuring ahead again.I was 9w6d at the u/s on Tuesday but they said the baby was measuring 10w2d that day. So that is encouraging as it means it is doing well. They gave me a closer due date of December 21st but I haven't changed my ticker as I want to see what the doctor has to say.They did however find something during the u/s apparently I have a subchorionic hematoma.I am unsure of the size at this point but I will get more info when I see the doctor on the 2nd of June until then I have googled it and not found as much as I would like on it. The nurse did say that I have to stay on bed rest and continue PIO at this point.They said that the hematoma can up the chance of miscarriage but doesn't mean I will have one either. Apparently it puts me more at risk as it is a tear in the placenta between it and the uterine wall and it could tear away more and then I could have a possible mc.We are praying for it to heal as sometimes they resolve themselves.They can stay and cause a women to bleed through her pg and still have a healthy baby. And lastly they can increase the chance of mc. If anyone out there knows anything about this or anyone that has had this could help me out with info about it I would greatly appreciate it.The second sac has not been ruled out as the cause of the pink fluid I lost last Tuesday, I will talk more to the OB about that on Tuesday.I ordered the doppler yesterday and the company says it was shipped yesterday so it should be here very soon.I think it will help give us some comfort through all this, before it was a want but now DH and I feel more like it's a need.We decided to purchase instead of renting as I found a company that sells them that was selling the same one that I was considering from another site that rents and sells them, but mine was cheaper. The site I used has a special for $20.00 off plus free shipping and a free digital thermometer with your purchase.Plus they include a storage case for the doppler and the other didn't say that it did.All in all it was a better deal.The price we paid was what it would cost to rent it for about 5 months. Considering we have just over 6 months to go it made since to just buy it and then we own it forever.We can use it for our next child too then.If anyone wants the site just let me know and I will pass it on to you.The sale I am sure is ending soon since it is a memorial day sale.But as of yesterday it was still going on.Well girls I am heading off of here for now but I am posting a 10 week belly shot before I do :-)

Still monkeying around

Well where should I begin.I called my OB's office today with a question and it was "would I get the results of the u/s today?" Their response was "no, the tech at the hospital is not allowed to tell you anything,the results are relayed to the doctor and then they will interpret them and call you" She said she understood and was sorry but it was policy.So that frustrated me from the get go.So hubby and I devised a plan to get as much info on our own as possible.After all it's our baby and all we wanted to know was if it was still alive.So I assigned him a job of not taking his eyes off the monitor, I said don't worry about me watch the monitor.We have had 3 u/s before today so we have become attuned to finding the measurements and what a lot of it means.I told him whatever you do look for the bpm and the measurements in centimeters.We both also know what the heartbeat/flicker looks like and I warned him that they would not be turning on the sound so please look closely.I knew that it would be hard for me to see anything good as they were not doing this u/s to show me anything but to create a report for the doctor.I knew me laying on my back looking at the screen sideways and not having it pointed exactly towards me would make it harder for me to have a could view of numbers etc.So she started the u/s (my first abdominal one ever, I was expecting another vaginal one but was glad for the change)I thought I would at least see if she could tell me the size of the baby or how it was etc ( i had to try), but as they had said she said "I can't tell you anything it's against policy, I 'm sorry".So she was moving right along taking all the pics and getting several shots, she was moving very fast through it all.And then there was a great shot of the baby (which I was able to see) and all of the sudden it jumped! I mean jumped like it was dancing. I said did the baby just move? And DH said very confidently "Yes it did".The tech then said that "sometimes you get the answers to your own questions" Which we took as a affirmative answer to if the baby was okay. The baby also waved an arm it was so cute.I cried after the first shot of the baby dancing it felt like a huge wave of relief came over me.DH said he saw the baby kick a leg too later after the wave.After everything was all done and the lady was out of ear shot DH said "BPM were 182 and the size is 3.39 cm.And I saw the heartbeat" I was so proud of him that he got all the info that his worried wife needed.We said later that our baby was making sure to show it's mommy that it was ok and that even if the tech wouldn't tell us it was ok that it would show the tech up by making it obvious for us and doing a little dance, wave and kick.I already knew what size the baby needed to be approximately to have grown like it was supposed to over the 5 days since the last u/s. The average size at 10 weeks is 3.1 and our was 3.39cm at 9w6d, just a day short of 10 weeks. But either way it is growing wonderful and a bit ahead. The Bpm/hear beat was at 182 which is the same as the u/s we had 5 days ago. And the heartbeat needs to be at least 150 bpm so again the heartbeat was great. I have had no new blood only old discharge that is brown/rust and tan colored.I am beginning to think that it was a second sac like my OB wondered.I was talking to dh a few days ago and I said remember our last(normal)appointment at the RE, the one where they released me to the OB?" "Remember when they were doing the u/s and the RE saw something on the left side of me and kept saying I wonder what that is,what is that, hmm that must be her ovary."I was in a decent amount of pain when he was pressing on my abdomen trying to get my ovary or whatever was in a better view. I had a lot of tenderness that reminded me of cysts I have had.He finally dismissed it as just being my ovary but never really was sure. He asked the intern what she thought, of course she really didn't say anything only agreed with him.That whole u/s and appointment was one week before the bleeding incident on last Thursday.So I am now wondering if what they saw was an extra sac since after I went in on Thursday he never mentioned seeing that on my left side that time and had no trouble finding my ovaries and the matching cysts on them in mere seconds.Nothing like that appointment when he was digging around with the vaginal u/s and pushing on my abdomen to try to see things better.So there you have it girls our little monkey is still monkeying around.It's jumping and dancing in its mommy's tummy and doing well. PRAISE GOD!!! I am still on bedrest and PIO shots.I will talk to the OB office when they call tomorrow with my official results. Thank you all again for your continued prayers and support I really appreciate them.((HUGS))
