We’re having a blob!
Today was my 9w ultrasound! The baby came up on the screen right away and measured 9w1d, so they “changed” my due date from Jan. 12 to Jan. 11. The baby looks just like a blob! But when you carefully look at the print out, you can see which end is which!!! Heartbeat was 167bpm (old wives tale says it’s a girl there). And the tech turned on the sound and we HEARD the heartbeat too – I wasn’t expecting that. It was so amazing and overwhelming. Doctor said my chances of not miscarrying are now 95%, so we may start telling soon. I’ve already started planning my pregnancy scrapbook. I haven’t officially started making one because I was superstitious, but now I feel ok about it.
I did “fail” my random glucose test though. Normal range is 60-99 and I got a 142, but I’m pretty sure it was from my lunch (and a brownie) that I had an hour before. But the doctor wants me to go in for a 3hr test. Wednesday I’ll be doing that. It’s more annoying than anything – I’m pretty sure it’ll come out ok.
Next appointment (second OB, Doppler, and NT scan) is scheduled for July 2!
