Sorry but this is a copy and past from somewhere else. I've been meaning to update, but I've been too tired this week.
OK so appointment had its ups and downs. Up side the NT scan showed baby actually measured ahead at 11 weeks 5 days which moved my due date up to Aug. 2. And that the thickness was within normal range 1.18 or something like that. So that's good news. Blood draw results from last ob visit were good. Everything within normal range except for the hemoglobin and something else blood related were a bit low, but not by much. I'm back up to 150lbs, so I feel like I'm doing OK with weight gain so far.
My aauggghhh moments...doc did not have my blood results from the NT scan. So even though the scan showed normal levels, without the blood, we don't know the risk for sure yet. I have to call he place I went to tomorrow and see if they have the results or not or find out how to get them over to my doctor. My other aaughhh moment...the freaking battery died on the doppler so we couldn't hear the heart beat. He did offer it up for me to go see him next week to hear, I'll see what I'll do depending on the blood results. My final aaugghhh moment is that he wants me to take the progesterone for another week. BLAH! Just when I thought I was done, it sucked me back in. I felt bad for DH. He left work early to meet me there just to hear the heart beat. 
Next time I go see him I'm bringing a double A battery just in case. 
All appeared to be fine. I won't know full results till my follow up with my OB on Monday. I did get to see my little rainbow baby being active and had a lovely heart rate of 168 beats per minutes. I also got to hear the heart beat for a brief second, but by the time I realized what it was it was gone. The tech didn't warn me that she was turning on the sound or turning it off. She also didn't bother to look and see if the pelvic bone development gave any indication as to the baby's sex. I was really hoping for a sneak peak at the possible sex. Another good things is that Rayne measured right on target. Baby finally caught up. I knew (s)he would, I just feel better knowing it.
OK I've blabbed enough it's time for pictures...

comments on my very limited caffeine, or the one weekly unhealthy meal I allow myself...is going to get my foot shoved so far up their fucking ass that my size 9 will show in between their two front teeth! Look mofos I eat very healthily for the most part. I cut out all my damn coffee and only have one can of soda with lunch Monday-Friday. If I'm at home, soda isn't even in the fucking fridge. At home I eat a decent well balanced meal and my breakfast are healthy too. I snack on fruit a few times a day. So if you see me giving in to a soda, half a cup of coffee (which I haven't had in weeks), a bag of chips, or some greasy meal. Leave me be. I will not be held accountable for the stump you will most likely be pulling back! K, we got that? Is that clear!!! Fucking assholes on their high horses. Let me see you pregnant and then try and eat nothing but healthy all the damn time. Oh wait...you will never be pregnant because a. you're a man, or b. have officially hit menopause and have been there for years!
ASSHOLES!
Things are moving along just fine. My beta from last time was nice and high, so was my progesterone so the doc dropped me down to once a day instead of twice. woot My belly is getting bigger and harder to hide now. Not that I'm trying but it's noticeable now. I'm still tired all the time and face is breaking out here and there. BLAH I'm getting cravings for things but nothing crazy, yet. All in all things are as they should. I do have to go in for a nuchal translucensy (NT) scan. It was either that or the amnio and I'm sorry doc, but the fact that I turn 35 in a few days is not reason enough for me to have you stick a large needle in my belly that comes with a risk of miscarriage. Now, if the NT scan shows that something isn't right, then I'll do it, but not before then. OK time for a belly shot...
9 weeks 5 days
Got to see Rayne again today. The baby is doing very well and only measured 2 days behind this time. Again, not something I'm going to worry about. Rayne's heart was beating at 143BPM. I'm so happy that everything is going the way it should.
That's what I felt like yesterdays appointment was, a waste of my time. I was running late but only by 15 mins. By the time I got seen the lab had closed so I didn't get a beta. I did get a form to have it done. So I can go during my lunch today, if I feel like traveling a bit. Not sure if I do. I might wait till tomorrow. I also got a script for another ultrasound. This time I made sure he was clear with instructions. He also gave me my script for more progesterone with refills to fill later this month. I have to take those until I hit 12 weeks. He didn't really look me over, just took my weight, BP and talked for a moment. He wants me back in 2 weeks and I have to have the ultrasound done before then. Oh and to top it off they didn't even have the results of the ultrasound I took on Friday. I told him what we saw, but he needs detailed reports. Ughhh what a waste!
OK first of holy shit this morning was crazy stressful. My OB is great, but he lack communication skills. So it was hell trying to get seen because his instructions, yet again, were not clear. After an hour of going back and forth we got it all straighten out and I got seen. I got to see my Rayne and things looks just fine. Rayne implanted in the uterus as "she" should. The only down side is that we didn't get a chance to see a heart beat. But that's because I measured 3 days behind. I should be 5 weeks 6 days, but I only measured at 5 weeks 3 days. Three days is no big deal so I'm not even concerned. We got to see the gestational sac, yolk sac and fetal pole. That put me at ease like you don't believe. The doctor there likes to oversee everything once it's all done and he said it all looked good. His only recommendation is to follow up in 2 weeks with another ultrasound to see a heart beat.
My OB should have the results today, and I follow up with him on Monday. He wants to do another blood draw then and I should have numbers again on Wed. I'll talk to him about a follow up ultrasound. I wouldn't mind another one. Especially before year end and my new years insurance deductible kicks in. Are you ready to meet Rayne? I can't wait to meet Rayne in August, but for now pictures will have to do.
Rayne
