We had our monthly visit to the doctor's and next appointment is the sugar test...Woo Woo! :) We heard Ella's heartbeat and man was she moving all over the place. The doctor found her beat and then she'd move and she'd have to look for the beat again. After the doctor's and dinner with Grandmom and Pop Pop, we drove back up to get the ultrasound done again so they could get the heart measurements...Well - THANKFULLY I didn't have to drink the water again, however we still had to wait 40 minutes (and there was NO ONE in the office) until they called us back...We asked if Mike could go back to start and they said "it's office policy that no family members are allowed back there until after they get the measurements for the doctor"...So needless to say, Mike was NOT happy at all!!! But anyway, we saw Ella again (and she confirmed she is definitely a girl - we have the pictures now to prove it) and she was moving a lot and kicking. She had a fist and put it up to her forehead and then she was stretching out her neck. The tech said she has petite features, but she looks healthy and our tech loved her for cooperating. I got to see the 4 chambers of the heart which was pretty cool and saw her nostrils. Oh and then she snuggled her head against the uterine wall and starting sucking the amniotic fluid! That was cool to see too!! So yes the wait was definitely worth it, however for our next child, we're definitely going to a different imaging center.
Oh and in other news, Ella went with us on her first long trip. We drove down to Greensboro, NC to visit with Uncle Don, Aunt Steph, cousin Donny and Uncle Jay! She kicked for about 10 minutes at 3am Monday morning and I actually felt my stomach lift with my hand on it! Pretty awesome!!!
We will keep you posted on anything new that comes up!
Love Vickie & Mike
