ultrasound results

So i went to the ultrasound today. i was really scared, and drinking 32 oz. of water in an hour really made me have to pee! But anyway, i went and saw my beautiful ultrasound technician, Tanya. We looked at baby Blueberry and her/his heartbeat was very strong and the baby looked fine.

My uterus had a weird pocket of blood, called a Subchorionic Hemorrhage, but my ultrasound tech and doctor said it's small enough that it's not a huge deal.

Oh, on the topic, i finally met my doctor today! He's very old. Plus, i think he came right to my appointment from a delivery, because i had to wait for him to arrive, and he seemed out of it. But guys, he's really old. The 30-something nurse i had at his clinic said that both her younger and older brothers were delivered by him! Anyway, i think he was distracted from the delivery he had come from, or was having a bad day, because he seemed kind of rushed and his bedside manner left a bit to be desired. He is very kind, but he seemed to forget with what gravity he should say things. Like when i asked him when i should get an ultrasound again, he said "Oh, i'll have you get one at the end of next week, just to make sure the baby's still alive." Very reassuring. Then he kind of finished up our appointment to go see his schedule for the week following the next ultrasound, and he kept popping his head in the door, asking weird questions, the weirdest one being:

Him: "How many children do you have? Two?"
Us: "Just one other one."
Him: "OK". (disappeared.) Kris and i spent quite a while wondering why he asked that, and could never figure out an answer.

The nurses i've talked to said they all love him, and he is usually very thorough, almost TOO thorough and caring about his patients, so i'm thinking he just had an off day.

Then the nurse came in and gave me a Rhogam shot, just in case. i wonder how much all of this will end up costing me. i just finished paying off the clinic for being pregnant with David, and we had no complications with him. Darned 80/20 insurance! Of course, the most important thing is the baby's and my safety. But sometimes i wish Kris worked at a place where we'd pay more monthly, or have a higher deductible, and have full coverage.

It's been a very long day. i'm going to bed. Thanks for caring, everyone! It was good news, in general. Good strong heartbeat and nothing too scary to worry about. i'm glad today is OVER!
