NT Scan

First let me start by saying WOW what a waste of time this was!!! So Luis takes off work to go with me because I didn't want to get the results by myself. My aunt watched Mia because they don't allow kids in the room. So we get there on time, go into the room and this doctor starts the ultrasound. Immediately I ask about the bleed and bed rest, he looks at me like I am crazy. I was thinking that since I have been upfront about my situation with every single appointment that I have had starting at week 9 that the notes in the computer would be looked at for this. This was not the case. I had to explain to him that we originally started out with twins then lost one at 8 weeks. He was completely surprised he had no clue. So now that he knows this it changes everything. The blood work that I had done in the first trimester is counting twins in the blood levels which will throw off all of the markers on the test. So the nine vials that I gave weeks ago was all for nothing. Then we get back to the scan and the baby is laying on his side with his or her back to us. The doctor can't seem to get a measurement, then he says the chord is right behind the baby's neck so now he really can't get a measurement. He says sorry its not going to happen today. He says if I want to try the scan again I would have to come back in one or two days because I am getting ready to pass the timeline of having it done. He says I have to honest with you, you could come back and the chord could still be there. Then he goes on to say I really don't like to waste peoples time. He really was cold, harsh and of course had no bedside manner at all, like most doctors. He was very negative with his words, he would be scanning the baby and say well the problem is then stay silent, Luis and I were so scared that we were about to hear bad news with the baby. This is the reason why I opt out of having a doctor deliver my baby I would rather deal with a midwife. Doctor Werlin spoils you he really does. He honestly is the best doctor that I have ever been to, that's why leaving him is so hard:( When I lost one of my twins and started crying uncontrollably Dr. Werlin hugged me so tight for the longest time! DOCTORS JUST DON'T DO THAT! He is special! So no blood work no scan. We decided not to do another scan, and I will go in around week 15 - 20 for second trimester blood work. You know maybe this was a blessing in disguise because I know so many women who get false positives on these scans and I know if that happened to me I would be sad and thinking about it for the entire pregnancy. Who would want that? The good thing that happened out of the appointment was that the doctor said that the bleed was so small  and going away so he saw no reason why I couldn't slowly start to resume normal activities. WOOOOOO HOOOOOO! He said if I hadn't mentioned the bleed that he would have glanced right over it without thinking twice. So yes I am taking it easy but I am taking my life back!!! Baby looks great by the way, he or she was moving around like crazy:)

12 weeks graduation day!!!?

Today was our graduation day and Dr Werlin is killing me. I said okay so now that I'm 12 weeks I'm officially off bed rest right? He shook his head and said you need to take it easy! The words would not come out of his mouth! The nurse said I think you can slowly start to resume normal activity but he just can't seem to say it! This worries a bit and I know that if Dr Werlin had his way he would keep me on bed rest until this baby comes out lol!!!

We have our NT scan on Monday this is when I will get more news on the bleed. Hopefully I will be told some good news so I don't have to walk on egg shells!

So what do you get the doctor who has everything? Why homemade cupcakes of course:) I made him and the staff some chocolate peanut butter cupcakes along with espresso mocha toffee cupcakes:) they were excited!

The new building is absolutely beautiful so nice and brand new everything
!!!! We will miss him so much and look forward to seeing him in October for the reunion!

Mia blast from the past

I came across this video today after uploading our ultrasound and couldn't help but post it. It cracks me up but saddens me at the same time because it seems like just yesterday that we took this video :( She is so grown up and so sassy now. She is super excited about becoming a big sister and is so so sweet kissing and talking to my belly every day. Our little Mia:(

One week until graduation!!!! :(

Next week will be my last appointment with Dr. Werlin:( Its always bitter sweet! How I love this man and all of my nurses and of course we will miss Sandy and Lupe's bright smile checking in and out! We will have our farewell appointment in the brand new Coastal Fertility building! I have to say I have been going to the old building since 2007 so I will definitely miss it! On a positive note we look forward to seeing Dr. Werlin every year at the annual miracle baby reunion:)

11 weeks

Okay so the baby is getting bigger we saw his or her legs today:) shocker here, still have the bleed so bed rest continues:( yuck!!!!!!
