Baby Bird #4 (11w0d)

I got to go to my first OB appt this morning. It was kind of a rude awakening because I waited 45 minutes past my appt time and then they had to try 5 times before they were able to draw blood. I've definitely been spoiled by my RE's office - on-time appts and a full-time phlebotomy tech who got it on the first stick every time!

Fortunately, I did not have to have a repeat pap since we just did that in October, and I didn't even have to have the STD cultures taken bc my RE did them before the IVF. Yay! I did have to give a urine sample, but I was told that I'd better get used to it bc I'd be giving one every visit from now on. It was funny, they actually did a dip test and had the + test sitting on top of my cup. Glad to know I'm still showing pg!

My OB couldn't find the hb via doppler, LB was moving around too much, so I got to go in for an u/s! Good baby for helping mommy out on that one!

And guess what?!? They did it on my tummy - not the wand! - I really have graduated! Except now the picture quality is cruddy - see, so so spoiled.

  2. What a great profile shot! And I say any peek you get is a good peek. But yes, it's something to get used to being all "normal" and what not. :-)

  4. Congrats on moving to an OB! The LO still looks beautiful to me, even though he/she is a bit grainy, ;-)

  5. So cute, I can't wait for the day I graduate to the belly ultrasound, I have grown tired of the wand. I hope your time with the OB gets a little better.....Its not fun to wait 45min.

  6. What a good looking baby! Wait times are never fun, but it is my theory that preggo women get seen b/f the non-preggos. I love, love seeing him/her grow!

  7. Glad everything is going well. I felt the same way about the over the tummy exam. Very cool to keep your shoes on, but the pictures are not nearly as good.
