Ultrasound #4

Well these are not the greatest photos of the babies but I got to see them loud and clear!!! I was not able to listen to the heartbeat because this was a specialist and she said that less than 12 weeks it takes more energy to hear the heartbeat rather than to just see the waves and she said that it causes heat and she didn't want to expose the babies to that right now if she didn't have to. I understand her rationale but I sure wanted to HEAR them today. I will just have to wait until I go to the OB for my 13 week check on July 17th. Not long...not long at all.

I just got back from the perinatologist appointment and she was wonderful. Her ultrasound machine was hooked up to a large flat screen TV monitor so I could see what was going on. She did a great job answering my questions and making me feel at peace about things. She said that everything else looked good. Baby A is measuring 8W5D with a heartbeat of 176 and Baby B is measureing 8W1D with a heartbeat of 165 I am actually 8W2D so this is pretty good. It was so neat to see how much they have grown in just one weeks time. Unreal. I am so thrilled that things are looking good. I feel better now. Now I do not have another appointment for anything until July 17th. Why does that seem like forever away? Anyhow, thats OK I will make it. One day at a time. I will go in for my anatomy scan on Aug. 27th when I am 18 weeks. I am still having that burning, pulling feeling and she said that it was because of my previous C-sections-the scar tissue stretching. She said that this should only improve. Just a sidenote....no vag u/s today!!! I was able to have the abdominal one-MUCH BETTER!!!!
