Again, my post is long overdue but after finishing our taxes (I LOVE doing them!) I thought I should write. I wish so much that our stinkin' scanner would work because we got a pretty good picture of our little skittle yesterday.
At my 9 week u/s last week baby was measuring exactly 9 weeks and the heartbeat looked great. He/she even wiggled a couple times!
Yesterday at my 10 week u/s baby measured a little bit behind. Depending on the angle, he/she measured 9 weeks 5 days or 9 weeks 6 days. My RE wasn't concerned at all since the heart still looked very good. I'm doing my best not to dwell on it and hopefully by next week he/she will have caught up some. I should also mention that as soon as we saw the baby my RE said, "He's clearly sucking his thumb!" Obviously, we don't know if "it" is a he or she but the point is that baby was sucking away! It was awesome! We also saw the umbilical cord coming from the belly and there was plenty of fluid around the baby.
Some other good news is that I was cleared to reduce my PIO!!! I get to stop completely after Sunday's dose! Thank you Jesus!! That will be such a blessing...to both of us.
The RE also said that we'll start talking about OB's at my next appt. I keep debating whether or not to go with a local OB-deliver at the hospital in town or use a midwife/birthing center in Tucson-which is connected to a hospital an hour away. To drive or not to drive. I go back and forth every day about it. I have another week to decide it looks like.
I'm going to work on our scanner and see if I can't get that bugger to work. I think taking a picture of the u/s with the camera just won't do it justice.
Thanks for checking up on me!
