Hurry up and wait.........



Seems that we are just in a waiting phase......we have to wait for my next appt (8/18), waiting to be able to feel the baby move (hopefully in the next week or so), waiting for the "big u/s" (8/30)......that is just the pregnancy part of my life....we are waiting on lots of other things in other apects of our lives.  Still waiting on our lawsuit money......(on July 8th, they said by end of July.....on July 27th, they said, call back next week...maybe she would know more...). Waiting to hear if my sister-in-law's 2nd IVF attempt worked (Aug 9th is the day!). We are also in the middle of trying to gain custody of my cousin's 2yr old daughter, who lives in California (long story, will give more detail later)....her court date is August 9th.......  so we wait, wait and wait some more........

15wk appt

Finally got to have my appt today. It was with a different doctor so he really didnt give me any answers to my million questions....he was very vague. He did let me hear the heartbeat..although it took quite a while for him to find it (kinda scared me for a moment). He said everything sounds good, he measured me but didnt tell me what I was measuring at.....I asked him about my N/T scan results, he thumbed through my chart and all he would tell me is that everything seemed to be in the normal range....duh, I knew that or they would have called me....I wanted to know the specific numbers! I could see them on the chart but they were too far for me to read them......bummer!!! Not too exciting......have to wait another 4wks until the next appt.

update?



Been a while since I have updated~ nothing going on right now. I never heard from the perinatologist about my test results....meaning it must be good news!!!! I will discuss the results next week at my doctor appt. I have been feeling really good...and growing by the day! According to my scale....I have officially gained 1lb! pretty excited about that...with mason I gained a lb a week in the 1st trimester!!! I will be 14 weeks tomorrow!! I have doctor appt next week on 7/19! The BIG u/s is scheduled for August 30th!!!!
