Just an update on how everything is going. Had a pretty interesting day on Wednesday. Was leaving work pulling out of the parking lot and got rear ended. I had my seatbelt on, but it jolted my head quite a bit forward then back. I called the cops and they sent an ambulance to check me out and everything was fine. Then I called my OB and the nurse said to just be cautious we should set up a sonogram for Thursday morning to make sure the baby is ok. So we got quite the treat this morning seeing it move around! Here's some pictures...

Everything has been going fine since our little scare a few weeks ago. As I mentioned in an earlier post I had been referred to our only high risk OB in Wichita. After 2 weeks of them trying to schedule me an appt for there first available in September Jason did some research online about the Dr. and her office. We only found negative comments online and also a girl I work with had to go to this office with her first pregnancy and told me she wouldn't go there. We then thought maybe we should find one in KC or OK City but I thought I would give Dr. Yang, our family doctor a call to see what he suggested as I felt that I would get a better answer from him than my OB. Dr. Yang got me in this last Monday the 12th. Then he sent the results to a highly regarded hematologist, Dr. Phu Truong, for him to check me out as well on Wednesday. I told Dr. Yang that I was just wanting to make sure everything was going well and felt like nobody was paying any attention to that. He said he would be the anal one and make sure what I wanted done got done. Dr. Truong said everything was in the normal range and that my blood should be checked monthly. So I will be canceling the high risk OB appt we have and letting my OB and hematologist work toghether.

I had a minor scare over the 4th of July weekend. I had a little bit of spotting Sunday night and Monday. Decided not to go to the E.R., as it was very light. Called my doc this morning and they got me in for an ultrasound right away. I found out it was a Sub Chronic Hematoma which is a gathering of blood between the membranes of the placenta and the uterus. Some doctors will refer to it as a blood clot. Iwas told to take it easy, no cleaning or laundry for 32 weeks... no really just to take it easy, sit when I can and let Jason do things for me. When I get to the 2nd trimester in 4 weeks I should be a bit more out of the woods. So here is our picture of our little grape. It's amazing how fast it changes. This week you can see the legs and arms and it was moving quite a bit which I could see on the screen. She checked the heartbeat and it was 173, she said very good and strong.
