Big U/S update

I had by big ultrasound and anatomy scan Monday, but the baby was too small for them to determine the gender or to see the 4 chambers of the heart and kidneys, so I go back on May 18th when I am 22wks. They were able to get all the measurements they needed and all those are normal, so my doctor said everything looks good and not to worry about anything...so I am trying not to. The baby has a nice strong heartbeat and she saw the heart and some of the chambers, she just couldn’t get a shot of all 4.

My cervix is great, my amniotic fluid levels are great and my weight is perfect...doctor said to keep doing what I am doing. Of course my blood pressure was horrible and usually is when I go in because I am so nervous and since the tech doing the ultrasound didn’t tell me anything and was a little put out that I didn’t have a full bladder I was more nervous when they took my blood pressure, it was like 154/92. But when I got home that night it was back down to 116/72. I monitor my blood pressure every couple of days or so just because I know it is always high at the doctor and it is always great at home, but just once I would like it to be good at the doctor. I think after we are able to see all the organs and such on the 18th, I should be a lot less nervous every time I go in.

So my next update will be on the 18th...say prayers that I will be able to report a healthy baby boy or girl then. But for now, I thank God that the measurements and what they tech was able to see all look good and my doctors are not worried at all. I pray for peace for myself while I wait these 3 long weeks.
