We walked in at 9:13am for our 9:15am appt. I kind of blame myself since I didn't wake up Justin in time. I woke him up at the time he wanted to leave! Oh well, we still made it!
I check in with the receptionist and she tells me to go pee in a cup. I leave the waiting room to go to the bathroom. I was only able to go a little since I went when I woke up and only had a juice box on the car ride over there. I managed what I could and walked out of the bathroom and towards the little metal urine holder/window thing. I open it and there's 3 other cups, to the point where my cup won't fit! So I'm just standing there, holding my cup of pee, when I hear my name being called in the waiting room.
I yell down the hall to her and say that I'm right here! She walks over to me and I tell her that I can't fit my cup in the little window thing. She opens it and then kind of yells at another employee that this should be empty!
I hand her my cup and she dips a protein strip in it and it comes back negative! Takes me to the scale, and I'm up 2lbs, but still down a total of 4lbs from when I had my IUI. I ask her if Justin can come back here and she said yes. I text him and he walks in just a few seconds later.
The nurse got the Doppler and tried to find the heart beat. She was having trouble but I wasn't worried because I have a pooch there and I had a feeling that she wasn't going to find it. Good news about that, is that we got another ultrasound!
The u/s lady was so nice and found the heartbeat right away. It's still at 170bpm (hmmm....girl???) and our little jellybean looks like a baby now! This child is totally Justin's kid, baby was just laying there sleeping, and the only reason we saw movement was because the baby flinched...twice!
She printed out some pictures for us, but you can hardly see anything on them :(
The OB's office finally got everything handled with my insurance about the NT scan and the referral went in on Thursday! I was totally surprised that the hospital called me this morning and we are set for Friday, April 19th at 1:45pm!
