Baby Update!!!

I know I said before I was gonna try to post each week about how things are going, but nothing has really changed until our appointment we had today November 19th was our second Dr. Appointment which went pretty good.. Things just keep changing for the good..We came into this appointment wanted to talk to the Dr. about maybe doing an Ultrasound or when she planned on doing one.. So Dr. asked me if I had any questions I started asking her about meds I can take for my cold, what kind of lotion I can use to put on my belly to try to stay away from stretch marks, and then I asked her the question.. Lol.. I asked her how she thought I was growing, if she thought I was bigger then I should be at how far along I thought I was and she looked at me and said I was fine, then I told her that my coworkers think I’m having twins, so she decided to touch my belly to feel for my uterus and that’s when she told me that she thought maybe they were right, that my uterus was bigger then it should be, she said it should be under my belly button and it’s just right above it.. I was like Uh-oh and began telling her that I was a twin and asked her if I had a chance and she asked if I was fraternal or identical.. I guess franternal twins have a better chance or something, so I was getting a little worried again.. she tried looking for the baby’s heart and see if there was another one, took her a little bit, but she finally found it a little lower then she thought ( it was 150 at the clinic) and was like yeah we need to schedule an ultrasound, I was like that was my next question.. So she said maybe tonight, but it’s kinda late so maybe tomorrow we told her tomorrow afternoon would work better for us. She was going out of town tomorrow afternoon so she was hoping we could get in soon. I told her I could probably wait until after Thanksgiving if I needed to and she’s like No you can’t because she knew that I was nervous and scared. Lol.. so she went to tell the nurse then a few mins later the nurse comes back in and was like so we got you an appointment for tonight in like an hour, so here is what you need to do.. You need to drink 40 oz of water and not go to the bathroom. I was like seriously I can’t do that I can’t not pee and especially when I’m drinking water.. she just kinda laughed at me.. So after wards we got a bottle of water and went and walked around Kohls for a little bit to waste some time as I’m drinking this water.. I was doing ok.. then we left and pulled in and I told Gil I can’t do this I have to go to the bathroom soooo bad.. So this lady asks us if we have an appointment and I give her the paper and told her I have an uncomfortable bladder, so she told me I might be able to go a little, but not a lot, and I was like I’ll be ok.. as we are talking to this other lady filling out paperwork answering questions I just couldn’t take it any longer and was like can I just go a little I can’t do this!!.. LOL… so she calls the tech to see what I can do and she tells her that she is on her way to come get me.. She finally comes to get me and then lays me on the bed and tells me I can put my legs up if it’s comfortable and I said no I have to leave them down, so she starts scanning for the baby and taking pictures, we then find out that we are having ONE baby and not twins.. sorry for those of you who were hoping for us to have twins maybe next time… LOL… Then she tells me I can go a little..then I lay back down and she’s scanning again Baby’s heart rate was 135 this time, and we told her what it was earlier and she said it was fine.. she then asks us do you want me to tell you guys what you’re having If I can figure it out.. I’m like WHAT how far along am I?? she’s like I’m not sure, but your around 19-20 weeks, I was like OMG really… She tells us that I’m already half way done, so crazy to think about.. so she starts scanning and taking pictures then tells me I can go again until I’m done and I was like Yay happy bladder!! Never been more excited to go to the bathroom.. Lol.. so anyway after wards she starts scanning me again and taking more pictures.. During all this scanning and taking pictures that baby is moving all over and kicking and moving it’s arms.. We were unable to find out the sex of the baby cuz of course it’s legs were crossed and it wouldn’t uncross it’s legs and she was already having problems trying to get pictures of the baby cuz it was moving all around.. Once we were done she gave us a cd, with 4 pictures on it, I’m kinda disappointed on the pictures she gave us because it was 2 face pictures, an arm picture and legs.. we didn’t get the profile picture or anything else. . Kinda bummed about that and that the baby wasn’t cooperating so we couldn’t find out what it was, but oh well guess that’s the least of my worries and it will be a surprise.. she said we won’t do another ultra sound unless the radiologist didn’t like any of the pictures she got or if something was wrong with me.. so we’ll just have to plan accordingly since we don’t know.. Kinda ruins some plans I had, but I’ll figure it out.. All that matter is Baby is ok and it is so that’s good.. So she told us at the end that I am 19 weeks and 5 days along, not 13.. Lol.. and that baby weighs 11 oz.. and new due date will be April 10th, not May 22nd!!.. As I was talking with my Sister and told her the due date she was like maybe you’ll have a March baby and I was like oh yeah maybe I will.. ( cuz I wanted a March baby sometime cuz that’s the only month out of the year that Gil’s family doesn’t have a Birthday.. ) so Maybe I will that would be cool. .But we’ll see.. I’m thinking about maybe looking into seeing how much the 3D ultrasounds are, kinda wanna get one of those done, but it all depends on how much it costs.. Might look into it just for the fun of it that would be my next chance to see what we are having.. Lol.. we will see though.. I’m not even sure I’m able to express how I’m feeling.. I’m very happy that Baby is doing well from what she could see.. I guess I’m just shocked that I’m further along then we thought, I am just surprised I didn’t know I was pregnant before I found out she was saying well you can have your period sometimes when you’re pregnant well that’s obviously what happened so weird to think about it.. I’m a little more nervous now, just cuz I know it’s coming more quickly and worried that we might not be able to come back to Wisconsin after Christmas like we planned guess we will play it by ear and see what my Dr. says… I will post the Baby’s ultrasound pictures below that we got, but as for more belly pics well I’m gonna now have to back track and figure out just really how far along I was in the pictures.. Lol.. so I’ll post those later.. ;-)
