We got a great surprise today....an unexpected ultrasound with a sneak peak at the 4D!!! And let me just say, that is one beautiful baby chillin' in my tummy! Heartbeat was 160 bpm and he/she was just laying there, breech, and gave us some great poses of the profile, rib cage, spine and sucking the thumb. Then at the end, it decided to cover the side of the face as if to tell us our view was over! The ultrasound lady, which was not our regular ultrasound lady Jamie because she was off today, but was sooo nice, did try and get a glimpse of the girl/boy parts but to no avail. Baby decided today wasn't the day for discoveries! Then she clicked the button and there was our beautiful baby's face, just looking at us, eyes still shut, but wow! what a sight! I've seen 4Ds in the past but to see my own was just absolutely amazing. I didn't cry although I did well up! We go back on July 7 for the gender reveal!
As for me, I'm healthy and fine. Blood pressure great and I had lost another pound, but MD wasn't too worried telling me that next month, they would measure baby and determine if I needed to modify my eating habits/nutrition, in case baby wasn't getting enough. She said by pictures now, baby looked right on target. I did share my concerns with her that I don't feel like eating most of the time, not sure if I'm eating enough, and worried that my appetite hasn't increased. She said at this point, she was not worried in that since I began my pregnancy overweight, that it is most likely that baby is using up the excess vs needing additional from me as would be had I been average size from the beginning. I was also concerned with my increase in morning sickness over the past 2 or so weeks. Again, she said was not a big problem unless I got to a point of not being able to hold down any food, which at this point, it's just brushing my teeth brings on a quick session between my face and the toilet or sink, or whatever I get to the quickest.
I will hopefully be able to post the pics from today by the weekend. As we were not expecting to get an ultrasound today, we didn't take a CD with us. Chuck is going to try and get the cords he needs to hook up our scanner this weekend, so I will post as soon as possible.
On a less happier note, we spent last night in the ER with Chuck. He hit his head yesterday at work on a steel beam and basically, it won. He has a concussion and "positional vertigo". He can't walk exactly straight, has a headache, a sweet little knot on his noggin, and is now realizing what day, month, planet he's on. Yesterday, he was unclear about that! The positional vertigo is basically when he turns his head downward or to the left he gets extra dizzy. Doctor told him this would clear up in a week or so, he has to go back next Monday for a recheck. Until then he was to be off work tonite and then to light duty until Monday. He seemed to be feeling a bit better tonite, he's still a little uneasy on his feet, but thankfully our apt is small so he doesn't have far to fall! just kidding, he's doing a lot of furniture walking! lol
