Two little milestones today. 1) McBaby graduated to lime stage, and 2) the little lime still has a heart beat! Dr. S tried to hear the h/b with a doppler. When I reminded her of my retroverted uterus, she put that down and went straight to the u/s machine. Yes, it was the crappy one, but it was just fine with me.
I saw baby, and then immediately went searching for the h/b. I must have said something like "Where's the h/b? Is there still a h/b?" She zeroed in on it for me and I was immediately a happy camper.
She also gave me a script for Zofran. I'm excited about starting that, in hopes of feeling somewhat normal. I told her about my headaches and she told me they go hand in hand with the nauseau. Oh, and she said my weight gain was in normal limits (i.e. about 3 pounds).
We go back in 4 weeks!!!
Not the best scan, but like I said it's the crappy u/s machine.
Stacey, I'm so delighted everything is going well! I had no doubt but I know how anxious I would also be in your shoes! So well done girl and keep up the potivive attitude now!
ReplyDeletecongrats, mcmomma!
ReplyDeleteSo happy that everything went well! Hooray for a lime. :-)
ReplyDeleteAre you still having the NT on the 21st?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the lime. Now I want some Key Lime pie. mmmmm.
I love how every weeks comparison is to a fruit or a vegetable. Right now I've got two little heirloom tomatoes in my belly!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I'll ever stop with that moment of panic before I see the heartbeat, but then when it's there, it's like I just chill out.
I had to take Zofran too, and believe me it made a world of difference. I was throwing up constantly and couldn't eat anything but with the zofran I was actually able to eat and keep it down.
