good news ultrasound
7:52 p.m. on February 13, 2006
there are no words to explain how extremely happy and excited and thankful abel and i are. it was an absolute great day filled with great news.
the 4hr sugar test went smooth. there were a couple of times there that i almost blew chunks but i tried really hard to keep it all in. i was not about to mess it all up and have to take the test again!
after the test i went straight to the cafe to grab a bite to eat. fasting from 10pm the night before is crazy for a pregnant woman! needless to say i devoured that cheeseburger and fries!
after that my mom and brother and abel finally arrived. i wanted to run to get the u/s started but i also wanted to run away from the place. i was so scared of hearing bad news. i was terrified of hearing something bad i could feel the fear in the pit of my stomach. but as soon as i saw abel i was able to breath again.
when we got there abel made it a point to ask if they would be letting him in. he was going to raise hell if they didn't. luckily for them they did allow him to come in after the tech took all the measurements.
the tech was nice. she didn't let me see the screen until after she did all she needed to do. i kept trying to read her face. she had a wrinkled brow and a frown at times and i kept reading so much into it that i just turned up towards the cieling and prayed. i prayed and begged and pleaded and wished and everything else one does for good news.
she did manage to say the baby was measuring at 29wks instead of what my doc said i'm at which was 28wks. i'm not sure if that means the baby is big for the gestational age but she didn't seem too worried. she also mentioned the baby was still breech. that scares me a little but only because i'm terrified of having a c-section. however, we still have time for Baby to move into the correct place. finally, after what seemed like an eternity, she said she was ready to call abel with us.
abel came in. she sat down and adjusted the screen so we could both see. we both just wanted to know already. can you see any defects? is the heart on the right side? are all the organs where they should be? can you see the diaphram? is it completely there?
YES...YES...YES...YES...everything was where it was supposed to be! her hear heart was on the right side and pumping beautifully. her stomach was below the diaphram and her diaprham was clearly visible. and best of all there were no defects visible. though she wasn't supposed to go into detail or say anything definitively she was very nice and shared all she could with us.
able and i were moved to tears. there was the great sense of relief that came over us and we just started crying. i couldn't see the screen through the tears in my eyes. it was incredible...we could breath again.
and then she asked. do you want to know the sex? i looked at abel and he said he would like to know. i couldn't say no to him and i guess i kinda wanted to know myself.
so the news is we're having....
