The morning started with an appointment with my OB, Dr. Bell. It was time for my 18 week check up and my big ultrasound. Yesterday was so long!! I thought today would never get here. The ultrasound was exciting and nerve wracking all at the same time. Since my sister's experience, I have been anxious to hear that everything appears normal with our nugget. And it was. So far the baby looks great. All fingers and toes. All it's organs appear to be growing and functioning so far. I was so relieved. The baby cooperated and we were able to tell what it was! We are going to do a gender reveal Saturday with some yummy cake. Scot really wants the kids to cut into the cake to see either pink or blue icing. My sweet friend, Michelle, is cooking up a yummy cake for us. Now, I can't wait for SATURDAY! We got some beautiful pictures of the baby. I can't believe the cute picture of the baby sucking it's thumb. The baby's heart rate was 144 and it weighed 9 ounces. I got some reassuring news from the doctor about the birth. He said that it was my show and he was comfortable with my wishes. He also said if he wasn't on call he would come in! That was so comforting! It has been my biggest worry. And he said my and Scot's favorite statement, "I hate inductions." Praise the Lord! That is so rare now. It's almost never heard. No doctor says he loves inductions, but they are quick to point out all it's benefits and how long they will let you stay pregnant and how many have gone well. Blah, blah, blah. My doctor just came right out and said, "I hate inductions. I would rather come in and see you at 3am then spend all day on an induction." Oh, God has blessed me.
Now, I am sitting in a hotel room with Abby. We are in Plano for her evaluation with Little Giant Steps. We had a yummy dinner at Cheesecake Factory, but I am wishing I had tums and something for my leg cramps right now!
Night, night!
