BIG Ultrasound Results...

So I had my BIG Ultrasound on the 19th, and the results are in - it's a GIRL! The tech thinks I may have been dehydrated because I drank the amount of liquid they said to drink, and my bladder still wasn't very full. But I didn't see any kind of evidence of a boy. She was picking out the kidneys and the stomach from what just looked like a belly to me, so I figure if she says it's a girl - it is.

So far everything looks normal. Travis got to see the baby wiggle around and everything for the first time, which I think he secretly liked more than he let on.

I have to check in with my cardiologist, my OB is scheduling a fetal echo and I have another 4 week appointment all in February. AND it's my birthday on the 10th, too. Looks like it will be a busy time!

Cardiologist Part II: Electric Boogaloo

So I had my recheck at the cardiologist today. According to him, my aortic root appears dialated, and has gotten bigger, but is not out of the range of normal yet. He put me on a low dose of a blood pressure medicine as a precaution and to help take the strain off my aorta. He's going to recheck me in 3 weeks to make sure that I am tolerating the medicine well, and then if I am, he will double the dose that I am on.

In other news, I am now 5 months along. My big ultrasound is on Tuesday! I am excited for it.

Travis had an interview for a new job. I'm really hoping he gets it because it would be such a big help for us. Keep your fingers crossed!
