Dr. Appointment- 16 weeks
I completely forgot that I told my sister I would update my blog after I had my doctor's appointment today. It was a very routine appointment. I will be 17 weeks on Thursday. The babies I miscarried died at 16 to 17 weeks. When the nurse took me into the room, another nurse came in right after us. She let me know that she had a mom who was very early in her pregnancy that needed the room. They had tried to find her baby's heartbeat with the Doppler device, and were unable to find it. They were going to look with the ultrasound (That poor mom! I hope everything turned out okay for her). The nurse looked at my chart, and she saw that we had checked the baby just a week ago. She asked me if we could skip it this week. I let her know that I really needed to see the baby, and to make sure it was okay. I explained the situation to her, and she was very accommodating. We had a quick ultrasound to see the baby's heartbeat. The little guy/girl moved around just enough to let us know it was okay, and then they whisked me to another room that didn't have an ultrasound machine where I talked to the doctor for a while. I have another appointment in a week, and then I have my big ultrasound scheduled for December 27th. Hubby and kids all have work and school off that day, so we need to figure out if everyone is going to come, or if just some of us are going to go. I talked to the kids about it after school today. Allen decided that he does not want to go. Michael was very concerned. He kept asking if the baby is okay, and if we will be seeing a dead baby on the ultrasound. I did remind them how the ultrasound went the last pregnancy, and I let them know that that could happen again. Morgan is so excited to see the baby kick around inside of me. He wasn't with us last time, and I think he is less traumatized than the other kids are. I am a little scared, but I am also very excited. I really hope and pray that everything will go perfectly this time.

Thank you for updating your blog. We had a crazy afternoon/evening and I just remembered now that I had wanted to call you. I remembered when the kids got home and you weren't home yet, but then came piano lessons, homework, dinner, putting a hole in the wall, putting in a lightswitch, and folding laundry. I just finished everything and sat down to think. So, thanks for updating so I didn't need to call you at 11:00 at night so I could sleep. I'm glad that things went well today. We're praying for you and the baby. We'll send extra prayers these next few weeks. Love you!!
I'm glad everything was ok. I was thinking about you all day, but didn't want to call you just in case something had happened. I didn't want to cry at work. I'm SO happy things are going well. Keep us updated!
Love you!
You guys really are the best!! I completely forgot about updating everyone. I went straight from the doctor, to picking up the kids from school, and you know how afternoons go. Sorry for freaking everyone out. Love you guys!
I'm glad to hear that everything is going well so far!
