On Saturday night Dan and I went over to our good friend’s Hoby & Stacy’s house. While the guys were “playing” on their laptops and watching the baseball game, Stacy & I decided to buy some pumpkins to carve.
We had a blast. Dan’s is the “Mac” pumpkin- he got real creative, mine is next “toothless”, Hoby’s is the “Laughing Chinese Man,” and Stacy’s is last.
This morning Dan & I went to the doctor to hear the heartbeat! First the doctor used a doppler that wasn’t top of the line. Then she went to find another one that she liked better, and it worked! We heard the heartbeat! Dan got in on “film,” his cell phone! We don’t have another appointment for four more weeks. We’ll see what happens then…
Check out Dan’s bog at; http://scatteredthoughts.us/ to hear the heartbeat!!:!:
Today, at 10 weeks, we had our first ultra sound. My appointment was at 1, but I had to drink 36 oz of water between noon and 12:30! And not pee! Well, this was challenge! My friend who is a nurse told me that they can do a “reverse catheter” if you don’t have enough liquid in my stomach! YIKES! That sounds horrible. So I drank and drank and drank!
I get to my appointment early- of coarse, and they are running late- of coarse, and I REALLY have to pee! 10 minutes after my scheduled appointment I tell the lady behind the desk that I am not sure how much longer I can wait! 5 minutes later I get called back- hurray!
The radiologist begins the ultra sound- all I can think about it going pee! I am holding it in… consequently the radiologist “has to” push on my bladder to see Mac. Yikes, finally I see Mac and I get to go pee!
Then I find out I am having an “extensive” ultra sound- I will not go into detail but we got a picture of Mac- it looks like he is sticking his tongue out!
Oh the joy…
