Baby Update...

We went to the Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist this morning. They always do ultrasounds so I was glad to have this appt after the one last week was so bad.

This ultrasound tech took time and listened to me...it also helped that the baby had moved and was on the other side of the yolk sac and not between the yolk sac and the wall. The baby measured right on target and the heartbeat was 151 which is good and high! No problems. So we scheduled the next appt/ultrsound for 4 weeks which is when they'll do the testing for Down's Syndrome and other genetic mutations. When I was pregnant with Sam, it was at the 12 week ultrasound where we convinced the tech to try to see if we could tell the gender...and we could! So maybe in 4 weeks we'll know with this on too...although, we all know it's a boy too!

We are very relieved and now I will start working on reducing the stress and my blood pressure level (which wasn't high (120/76 which is normal), but actually kind of high for me esp when I'm pregnant).
