I have lots of random pieces of information to share, so here goes. :)
About two weeks ago I had a follow-up ultrasound my doctor ordered because the first ultrasound did not get a good look at all she wanted to see. I could tell during the second ultrasound that the technician was not satisfied with what she was seeing. The whole process took much longer than the first one did and she was asking me weird questions. She wanted to know who my doctor was and when I would be following up with her. I could tell when she asked them that she was trying to appear curious rather than concerned, but she was not good at it. Besides, she hadn't been so curious in the first ultrasound. So, then she told me I was finished and I could get ready to go. So, while I'm sitting there waiting on them to finish typing everything up, she says she has decided she wants to look at one more thing. She gets all her equipment out again and does some more looking. At this point, I was totally worried! So, I asked her what the deal was because I could tell something wasn't right. She said, "Well, he's just measuring a little small." I asked how small. She said he was about a week off on his growth but offered me no more information. And, it was two weeks before my next doctor's appointment. Needless to say, I went home a little confused.
So, google here I come. After doing a little reading online, my concerns were lifted. According to the all-knowing google, it really wasn't a big deal. So, I decided I wouldn't worry about it. After all, if it WAS a big deal, wouldn't my doctor be calling me to move my appointment sooner?
Fast forward to this past Monday which was my appointment, finally. I couldn't wait to ask her what her plans were to fix the small baby. :) Would she take me off the metformin? Would she tell me to eat more? So, she comes in, measures me, listens to the heartbeat, and says, "Great. See you in four weeks." She didn't even mention the ultrasound! So, I asked her about it. I explained that the technician made it seem like there was something wrong. She immediately mentioned him being a "week small." She didn't care at all. She said his growth between the two ultrasounds was consistent with what it should be so everything was fine. I guess he was small on the first one too. Besides, who wants a giant baby anyway!?
I am now scheduled to take ANOTHER one-hour glucose test. (completely un-related to the ultrasound. This is the time I would normally have been made to take it.) I sure hope I pass this one or else I'll be taking that stupid 3-hour one again! I'll be doing that this coming monday. It'll be a great start to my Spring Break.
In other baby news: We have the room completely painted. We've purchased the chair rail, but haven't installed it yet. Hopefully that will be happening within the week. So far its looking pretty good. I did take some "before" pictures that I will post along with some "after" pictures when its completely done. Don't look for those anytime soon. :)
No, we don't have a name yet. Well, we have a partial name, but I'm not spilling the beans until there's a complete name. We've gone through about a million names so I'm sure we've narrowed it down quite a bit. At one point we had decided on one but wanted to give it a week or so to be sure before we made any announcements. We didn't make it through the week before we decided we weren't that fond of that name after all. So, we started over. We are sure what the first name will be though. Well, I say we're sure. I spent $6 buying the letters of his name to hang on his wall, so we're either sure or I'm out 6 bucks. LOL
