So, this week was my monthly sonogram. I was so excited because I thought it was a 3-D sono again and I could not wait to get more pictures of Junior. Well, I stop and get my juice on the way to my appointment to drink while I am in the waiting room.....that way, hopefully Junior would be moving around and we could get some really good pictures.....well, I get in the room and tell the sonographer that I drank my juice and she looked at me and I said so the baby would move around and she said she only had me down for a rate of growth sono and there was not enough time to do a 3-D today.....but if she could get all the measurements quick enough that she would try and get me a 3-D image.....well, I guess my hormones were raging yesterday (luckily, they have the light off in the room doing the sono) because I could feel the tears coming down my face....and then I realized she would not tell me anything about the sono so that really freaked me out...by the time the sono was over and she left to go see if my exam room was ready I was a basket case! When my nurse saw me she told me to go in the open exam room (I think I got someone else's spot because they were sending me to the waiting room). Well, it took a while for me to calm down and then they explained to me that it is a new rule.....that has just gone into effect in the last month that the sonographer can not say really anything.....and when she wasn't saying anything it was just very different for me. She took all my info to my doctor and my doctor looked at the info and sent someone to tell me that everything was "ok"......so the nurse came in again and got my blood pressure, made me go weigh, etc....
When my doctor came in she explained the new rules they have and told me she was so sorry for not warning me that it would be a little different this time......after that, she went through each of Juniors pictures and showed me the graphs that showed everything was measuring just where it should be. We were not going to be starting my NST (non stress testing) until next week but we decided to start it yesterday.....she said that was actually a little early because we could not just attach the monitors with the band she had to hold the monitor, then the nurse held it, then I held it, then the nurse held it while I drank juice to help get Junior to move around again and then they made Hubby hold it......anyway, we will have to see if Junior likes those bands next week.....the test showed everything to look good though.
Starting next week I will be going in twice a week! After yesterday, we see that until Junior is here I may be a little more emotional and stressed somedays....I don't think I am like that everyday though....I guess that would be a Hubby question:)...but I would go to the doctor everyday if that is what they wanted me to do......just to get to hear that little heartbeat each time and know that Junior is doing good!
Oh, they did get a couple of 3-D images but they did not print them for me they are on a disk.....I don't know if my computer does not like the disk or what.....so I am having to wait until Hubby has time to download them for me from the disk and then I will post them....it will probably be the middle of next week before he can get to it as he is really busy with work right now.
