5th u/s

The nurse that took my weight said, "Have you been sick because you've lost alot of weight?" I said, "Yeah, a little." And Jason piped up and said, "Uh...she has been sick alot!" Dr. DeRossitt wasn't in today; he is on a 3 week hike up some mountain. So, we got to see the APN. She tried to listen to the heartbeat with a fetal doppler machine, but we couldn't hear anything. I told her that I had been sick alot, and she said that she would prescribe some Phenergan for the nausea. Also, she gave me some different prenatal vitamins to try since the other ones made me even more sick.

She started out by doing an abdominal u/s. We could see the heartbeat and some movement. Here are two of the images from that u/s.

In this one, the baby is looking at you.
The dark spot is an eye.

Since the quality of the images from the abdominal u/s was not too great, she asked if we wanted to do a vaginal u/s. Uhh...duh...YES! Here are some images from that one. I don't think the quality is much better. Now you can just see a larger fuzzy spot.

The hands are clasped up next to the face,
and those 2 white blobs are the elbows.

She tried several more angles to see if she could determine the sex, but she said it was really too early. So maybe next time we'll find that out. Oh yeah...we asked again about traveling. She said it would be fine. She even said that we could go white water rafting. WooHoooo!!!

My next appointment is on August 2 which is the week before we return to our yearly torture...I mean work.
