Saying, "Hi!" The full body shots were hard because he/she kept moving around so much. Still too early to see much other than the baby seems fine for now.The Perinatologist is having me also see a Cardiologist, Neurologist, and go back to my Endocrinologist. He will do an ultrasound every visit (monthly) and will be monitoring everything to the point of driving me crazy. (His own words.) He is testing me for a disease that I can't remember what it's called. Because I'm allergic to Aspirin, I will have to take Heparin. He believes that I've had blood clots and therefore my babies have had brain blood clots as well. Which, I knew I'd had one in my leg, with Jace, but it went away on it's own, and my OB never pursued it. Wouldn't even admit it had been an actual clot. I had not mentioned it to him or my new OB. So I feel relieved that he will be on top of things, and clearly has a much better grasp than my previous doctors. He echoed what my OB says about the time frame of delivery, and is moving NST's up to starting by week 30. If we make it to 35 weeks, he will start me on Steroids.
I puked up the glucose drink, so that test was void. :( Just give me some Florence's chocolates. I'll keep those down, and they are sure to shoot me up!
Aidan FINISHED his evaluations this afternoon!!!!!!!! In fact, the appt was for an 1 1/2, but he finished in less than an hour. Hallelujah, it's over. At least for now. And not a day too soon!
