There’s a legit baby in there 🙂
It was so crazy to go to proper this second’s ultrasound and see a REAL baby. No lentil, no little bean… a toddler.
And my experience with proper this second’s ultrasound compared with the one I had practically a month prior to now: night and day.
No chilly jelly (it was warmth!), they gave me a lollipop beforehand so I’d have some sugar (which apparently, the new child was a fan of) and the technician was inconceivable. So kind and fully outlined all of the issues she seen.
The intention of proper this second’s ultrasound and blood check out was for a genetic screening to verify for Down Syndrome and anomalies. The check out doesn’t detect all of the issues that may in all probability be incorrect, and there is a elevated false constructive payment (spherical 5%). After chatting with the Pilot about whether or not or not we should at all times forego the check out or proceed with it (as a result of it’s non-compulsory), we decided to easily do the ultrasound and no blood check out… until we acquired there. We had an excellent feeling about it and easily decided to endure with your complete check out.
The technician measured the once more of the new child’s neck, which she described as “textbook” because of it was a perfect occasion of what common must look like- it was skinny, which is an environment friendly indication that Down Syndrome is way much less in all probability. The combo the outcomes of the ultrasound with the blood check out, to search out out a menace situation, which takes about 7 days.
The new child was ROCKING OUT.
Flipping, transferring, legs and arms extending and flexing, palms by its face, waving “whats up”… it was everywhere. I do not know the place that trait received right here from 😉 I moreover LOVED the reality which you could see the little coronary coronary heart beating and the twine pulsing. It was severely unbelievable… I can form of see why Tom Cruise bought an ultrasound machine, so they could see Suri frequently 😉
After the technician left, she received right here once more inside the room and acknowledged that she had mistakenly spelled my title incorrect on the distinctive images and requested if she could do it as soon as extra and take some further so my title could be spelled precisely.
Um, positive please! I’ll watch that baby dance all day….
She gave us a boatload of photos.
The new child was nonetheless dancing and flipping spherical, until it turned and confronted the machine (which made it look pretty alien-like) and appeared want it pointed correct at us!
Saying “Hey YOU. Stop interrupting my in-the-womb Zumba social gathering thankyouverymuch”
The ultrasound was a perfect experience (thank goodness) and blood draw hurt like a biotch. They prick your finger and drop blood onto 6 spots on a bit of paper, nevertheless the prick is principally like a retractable pen with an ice resolve on the end, jabbed into your finger. It shocked me, it hurt loads. The tech was very sweet and we talked about Sally Hansen nail outcomes whereas she squeezed my finger to get the sample. The Pilot saved telling me to look away so I wouldn’t faint, haha.
We stopped to decide on up some lunch for him to take to work, and it wasn’t until I dropped him off that I had my blubber second. I made it through two stop lights sooner than I had massive alligator tears rolling down my cheeks… my coronary coronary heart could also be very full.
Current cravings:
-smoothies! I can’t get adequate. I always love smoothies within the summertime, nevertheless significantly now. Throwing in a handful of spinach is a straightforward resolution to get some veggies in my life too 🙂
-Latest pure fruit
-Salsa or marinara, on one thing
-ranch dressing (ideally from eegee’s)
-eggs
-goat gouda (I went through 2 blocks ultimate week)
-refried beans- I had refried beans with salsa and eggs for dinner practically every night ultimate week
Aversions:
-Most greens, till your title is potato (white potato, not sweet- so weird!). Good news is that salads are palatable as soon as extra!
-Rooster and usually fish. I’ve to be inside the mood for fish, and it’d’t odor in the least fishy, and have solely have had rooster breast as quickly as… after which I acquired sick.
-Soups and most scorching meals
