Appt. Update

Well everything went really good yesterday. I met my sister and we went over to the hospital for my NT. My DH called just before I met my sister and told me that he might be able to make it to the appointment.

He did get there but just as I was coming out so he didn't get to see the baby. 8^(

When the tech first put the probe on my belly I couldn't see the hb right away so of course my heart sank, but then there it was a beautiful little flicker (161 bpm)

I was so releaved. The little bugger wouldn't keep still. He/she was moving all over the place. We saw little arms and legs kicking and waving it was really great. It took a long time to get the measurments because the baby was moving soooooo much.

I will have to wait a week for thr results, but I feel that every thing went well.

After that I went up to the Doc. for my appt. I gained 4 pounds. I can't believe it. I throw up everything I eat, how can I have gained. The nurse said that it is probably water weight because I am craving and eating alot of salty foods, so I should watch my salt intake. So of course this morning I had my salty bagle with butter and cream cheese. LOL (its the ONLY thing that I DON'T throw up)

I go back in three weeks for another appointment. I guess because of my *age* I will be on a 3 week schedule instead of a 4 week one.

They told me not to go back to my waitressing job on the weekends until they see me again. I had my sister and my DH there telling the nurse how hard the job was while I was telling her that it was not as bad as they were making it seem.

Anyway I agreed to wait three more weeks before I go back.

Thats about it for now. I'll update as soon as I find out about the results.

Hugs,
Donna

Hilly,

I'm 11w5d along. I was thinking the same thing, I've just been too cheap to pay so I can have a siggy done. LOL Maybe I'll just have to break down and come up with the cash.

hugs,
Donna
