Back from my test

Hello girls,

Well, after a sleepless night, I am all so relieved. My appointment went GREAT!!! The baby was so cute and active. I am in LOVE. The little stinker measured a day ahead. My uterus is tilted the wrong way... I forget what he called it, so it was near impossible to measure the fold, but he and I could see that the fold was THIN- phew!!!! I will go back next week on Monday, so he could try and measure it as the baby will be bigger, but I am not worried now. Two hands, two feet, and a cute nose. Apparently it is very important that the nasal bone is present at this time. The heartbeat was 158. I am now pretty sure it is another baby girl for us as Natalie's heartbeat at 11 weeks 7 days was 159.

I am one happy mama now and I get to see the bean again next Monday. Getting a little spoiled. I will also do all of my blood work then as well!

And it is 60 degrees in the middle of October in Alaska..... CRAZY, but it feels so good. Normally, we'd be plowing snow now.

Hugs and kisses,

Yay Oli! Congratulations.
You can take a nap now.

Congrats! And good luck on Monday!

Congrats and lucky girl for having another ultrasound again in 2 weeks. Dont be too sure of heartbeat and girl correlation. My OB told me that hb being high and girl is only true towards the end of the pregnancy. I also read a research study on this. If I find the study, I will post it here.

Where in Alaska do you live? I have never been there, but have always dreamed of going!!

oli · 10-13-2009, 05:21 PM

well, I was just comparing the heartbeat to my daughter's at the same gestational age and they are identical.

I am right in the center of AK, Fairbanks! Alaska is gorgeous!
