The P Club

So I had another appt with Dr. Serious yesterday and two really cool things happened. 1. The ultrasound was all outside of my body. No more dildocam Yay!!! 2. I got to hear little Homi's (the nickname we picked short for Hominid) hearbeat. It was surreal. I can't believe there is actually a little baby growing inside of me. Later Mr. Ug asked me if I felt better yet and I do. Not totally ready to join the P club and probably never will be however, I am feeling more confident that we might finally hold our baby ug in March.

All is well.....

So the second appt went well. Dr. Serious is growing on me. We have the same pulmonologist. Baby ug is fine. Heartbeat was 187 and measurements were much better. We could see the head and arm buds....couldn't really see the legs b/c baby is at the very top of the sac. I go back on the 6th for the Early screening ultrasound. I am doing well except for the extreme exhaustion. I go to work and then I am done for the rest of the day. At 9 weeks I already need new clothes. Everything I own is too tight. I have gained 6 pounds since before the IVF which doesn't seem like enough to make all my clothes too small. Hope all you ladies have a great weekend.

Now What?

I had my first OB visit last week. I will call her Dr. Serious. She seems ok so far. She is willing to let me forgo the amnio and cvs if I want due to the increased risk of miscarriage and my history. She is also willing to let me do a vbac however I am not so sure I want to risk that either. The good thing is she has a sonogram machine in her office and I will get one every visit. The bad thing is the machine does not like my uterus, it is tilted backwards or something. The baby's heartbeat was 140 but the measurements were off so i go back tomorrow. She was very matter of fact and not very reassuring that things are ok. Her dating and Dr. G's dating differ by a few days. She has me at 8 wks 3 days and according to Dr. G I am 8 wks exactly today. I am very nervous about the appt. I am spotting a bit today although there have been 3 or 4 days over the last 3 weeks
where I spotted a bit so I am trying really really hard not to freak out and just wait for the appt tomorrow.
