Well I had another appointment today at almost 11 weeks. The baby looks good. She couldn't find a heartbeat with the doppler and said it may be too early. She used a really old u/s machine to find BITO. She still couldn't get a heartbeat beacuse BITO was doing flips and flinging all over the screen. It was pretty cool. It's so hard to relax, but each time I go it gets a little easier. MY BP was 147/70 when I got into the office, which it has never in my life been that high. I had them recheck at the end because I was really anxious when I got there and it was 112/78. Just goes to show what stress does to your body I guess. Anyway, just wanted to check in and give an update since I haven't been around much lately with work and outside commitments. I also found out that when I get my next 2 u/s at the hospital, they have the 3d/4d machines so I should get to see a good pic of BITO. I can't wait now!
Oh, I also found out that my uterus points down instead of up (which isn't unusual) and that a doppler would be useless at this point because the baby is so far down and toward my back. She said it should come up in a few weeks, but that renting a doppler at this time would probably be more frustrating for me than anything since it would almost be impossible to find a heartbeat.

Glad you had a great appointment and even if you weren't able to hear bito's hb you still got to see him/her flipping around!
