PG - 11 Weeks 1 Day - Another Great Ultrasound

Today was my last ultrasound at the RE's office as I'm officially transferred to my OB next Monday. Today's ultrasound went great! Both heartrates were 163 and one measured at 12 weeks exactly and the other was curled up a little and even with that he was measuring 11 weeks 4 days. They were also moving all over the place. Everytime the ultrasound tech was trying to get a heartrate reading, they'd move and she'd have to start over again. We also got to see the RE today. I hugged him twice. He's awesome! Anyone in the Delaware area that needs to see a specialist, drop me an email. I've known my doctor for around 10 years and his practice is awesome. I've never felt like a number. He also mentioned that they are starting a mentoring program for new patients and wanted to know if I would mind participating. I told him of course I would and mentioned for the first time to him that I have an infertily blog and our whole story has been out here on the 'nets for all to see. I don't mind talking face-to-face. And heaven knows, I've been through everything. I think the only drug I haven't been on is Chlomid.

Next Monday, I have the nuchal translucency test at Maternal Fetal Medicine at the hospital in the morning and then I meet with the nurse practitioner at my OB's office in the afternoon.

But I'll also will get a bonus ultrasound the following Monday, 1/19/08, as the lady who does the ultrasounds at the RE's office is getting certified to do the nuchal translucency test and she wanted to know if I could come in that day as one of her test runs and that it's no cost to me or our insurance. Woo hoo! I know that will help as I'll be going through ultrasound withdrawl at some point. I can't wait to start feeling these "little people", as Phoebe calls them. Then I'll be able to know about all the moving around they are doing without the ultrasound telling me.

YAY! That's great news and it is all so exciting! :) And lucky you with the extra u/s...I definitely went through withdrawal with Lemy. We had our last u/s at 26 weeks, so by the time she was born I was desperate to see her.

Oh, so jealous of your free u/s! I know exactly what you mean with the u/s withdrawals-I'm obviously in one right now!

Congrats on your graduation to the OB and a great u/s. Fwiw, I think you'd be a great mentor!

Congrats! So glad things are going great for you!

I had horrible u/s withdrawal. I had one weekly for the first 16 weeks and then switched to a non-insane OB who dialed it back to monthly for awhile. I hated not getting the reassurance every week. Even when I could feel her, I was sure she wasn't moving enough or too much - I drove myself nuts! But it was nice not to have to go to the doc so often.

That is amazing news, Heather! So happy to hear that. You had left a comment on my blog about wanting the password but I don't have your email. Can you email me at kylechelsi@gmail.com and I'll send you the password once we switch over.

Heather - I just found you from Busted's blog - so happy for you.
I see that you liked Sookie too - you should check out Carrie Vaughn's Kitty series - it was awesome - however, warning - I did just finish the silver bullet book and there is pregnancy loss in that book.

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni
