Hello, ladies! I've been absent due to work and the holidays but things are starting to slow down so maybe I can start updating my journal again and keeping up with all you ladies. I updated a few genders and EDDs on the 1st post as much as I could but if anything is missing or needs to change, let me know.
Yesterday we went to a perinatal specialist for a dating scan at 17w2d. My doc sent me there specifically because I wanted a 3D ultrasound but they wouldn't do one and wouldn't let us watch her except for in-between measurements, wouldn't let us take pictures or record and then just gave us some blurry ass profile shots. It was so disappointing. I was hoping to get a 3D shot to announce with. Anyhow at least we know she's doing well, she was all over the place in there, unlike my son who was always sleeping. I think I have a firecracker in there. I did a Spina Bifida blood test and they told me to come back in 4 weeks because they couldn't get a clear shot of the heart to check it. I'm just going back to my regular doc though, screw them. I'll probably have to pay out the nose for that crap too.
I've been feeling very slight movements for the last few weeks I think but almost undiscernable and not very often. Finally yesterday I really felt some decent movement and I'm still feeling her a little bit right now. It's so exciting, makes it feel real!
