Today we went for our 25 week 6 day appointment. Tomorrow I start my 26th week..which means I will have 14 weeks left to go...EEK!!!
Our appointment was at 9:15...Holly came with us this time. The doctor is honestly going to think that I have my own little entourage...next time we are going alone..lol. We had to have another ultrasound done due to the fact that the doctor did not get a close enough look at the heart functions to make sure everything was fully formed ect. We waited a bit and then went in..sat in one room and moved to another. Holly actually got to see each of the appointment rooms today...due to lots of fun complications.
We started off in one room getting some views that he wanted to see..but you see the baby is definitely a BRANT!! It was still in a very awkward position for viewing what he wanted to look at. So we had to leave and go for a 15min walk. Holly, Doug and I walked to the hospital..went to the Tim Horton's and grabbed a drink. I had a small chocolate milk to hopefully jump start Baby B into moving a bit for the doctor..we walked back and went back in again.
Baby B had moved a bit..but not as much as what he wanted..he wanted to have one more go at it..so off we went for yet another walk. This time we walked around the parking lot..where we ran into other couples that were also walking. As we got back again more couples were being sent out to walk. There had to be about 8 couples sent to walk and come back a couple times alone. Our final time we went and waited in the room with the coloured eggs and back into the room with the machine again. We got a view of the heart. No new pictures tho..they were all blurry. Our last one had better details so I opted not to pay money for one again this time.
Baby b seems to be doing well according to the doctor..the estimate of the weight is 2 pounds 1 ounce. Which is a way normal average weight for the time of our pregnancy according to the doctor. This was important to Doug..as my brother Josh and Doug had made a bet about the weight of the baby..lucky for me..neither of them won.
There seems to be lots of sickness going around lately..so I asked what I was allowed to take. I was not aware that you can take most tylenol products..like tylenol cold when you are pregnant..which is a great relief since it is hard to get better when you are sick and not allowed to take much. Next week I get to do my blood sugar test again. I did one at the beginning of my pregnancy due to all of what I was taking before. Now I am just doing another one...at the normal time in pregnancy.
Hard to believe that in a couple weeks from tomorrow...I will be done my 2nd trimester and starting my 3rd. Time sure is flying by. Every time the doctor would press harder on my stomach today..Baby B would hit upwards at the Doppler..was hilarious. Even looked like it was picking its nose at one point.
I go again at the end of October. We picked up forms to register at the hospital and to make an app to have a tour of the maternity ward of the hospital. We start our Prenatal course in November in Glow's studio downtown. Soon we will be counting down days not weeks.
Tomorrow I go to my brother's Finance Jen's Baby shower to give her all the baby gear goodies we got her and the twin boys. Should be a fun event. It is crazy...we could be going to one of mine sometime soon. Holly is doing her's for me after the baby is born..get all of our gender specific stuff then. Since it is eating away at all of our relatives what Baby B really is. Makes life exciting!!!
Every step of our walks..led us closer to finding out everything looks great on Baby B.
