I woke from a dream thinking I needed to drink my 3 cups (well two for me) for my ultrasound but is was only 2am! gee sh what is on my mind.. lol. Then my DH woke me from my sleep he was making strange noises he finally rolled over and I asked what is up with you? He said he was trying to give me a sign that he was "frozen" he could not move so he was grunting. So I then asked what were you dreaming?? He said nothing I was awake I could not move I was frozen, then he paused and said thanks for the help. I said for all I know you could of belted me one if I tried to wake you(from reflex) or you were having a really interesting dream... lol. But we both ended up laughing so hard it was so funny.. that was 3:30am. I finally woke at 9am, went down stairs to get my water. Got dressed the left for the ultrasound appointment.
I got to the u/s place they took me right away (which is shocking) I changed into the lovely yellow gown and was just about to sit when she called my name. The tech asked what pg this is? I said #6. then she asked any children? I said no. She said sorry to hear that.
So I hopped up on the table she put the gel on put the wand on my tummy and I just prayed please please please... then she said ah there we go a nice heartbeat at 167bpm I was smiling from ear to ear, she then measured precious who is right on target at 8w4d (1.65cm) preciouses arms and leg were moving then it's little head moved up and down oh what a site.

When I went over to the clinic for my follow up, I was maybe waiting 10min before they called my name (once again pretty fast) So there I sit in the little waiting room for Dr S. to come in and when she did she too had the biggest smile on her face and said your looking wonderful, just wonderful. I noticed that the tech wrote down 7w4ds I pointed that out to Dr S. she said no she the tech wrote down the wrong LMP date a week behind... whew! Dr S. is referring me to Dr O. who is a specialist in recurrent m/c and IVIG. I just have to wait for that called for the appointment date. I go for the Nuchel Translucency ultrasound on April 19.
When Dr S said she was now going to move me onto Dr O. I asked where will I see him (he works in the Fertility Clinic plus in the Hospital) she said oh the hosp. Patients get a bit upset when they see a very pg women coming in. I said I can relate to that. Then she wen on to say the they have even had complaints of the Anne Geddes photos hanging in the waiting room (which were given by past patients) They also use to have all the babies that were born to couples that came into the clinic for help, hanging in the waiting area and some complained about that so they moved them into the halls on your way to the waiting Room for the Dr. I told her that seeing those baby photos gives me hope that I can happen because it did for someone else.
As Dr S. got up to leave the room she said that all the staff here are routing for us as well that when they see the pink folder come out they all ask what are her #'s how is she doing? She said they are all excited because I am one of the few that have been with them for awhile, since 2001. She said that every folder color represents a year and well pink is 2001. Most patient get pg with a healthy baby withing the year.
