Well, this past week has been very interesting for me and Travis. I got a call from my doctor while I was on vacation and she was concerned that my dates were wrong, based on the quad screen. Apparently, they didn’t think I was as far along as originally thought. I went in for an Ultrasound and found out that I’m two weeks behind where I thought I was. My new due date is Saturday, February 18th, 2012 (changed from February 4th.) The ultrasound was much more detailed than I thought it would be, and I was amazed to see the little baby moving around the whole time – I’m pretty sure it was dancing, and we also saw it sucking its thumb! The procedure lasted about 40 minutes, and it was exciting to see the little arms, legs, face, and toes. I can’t feel any movement, and it’ll probably be a few more weeks until I feel anything. Also, it was still too early to tell the gender, and while I still have an appointment on September 14th, I won’t be having my 20 week Ultrasound that date (it’s still a little too early since I’ll only be 17 weeks and 5 days.)
The good thing about the change of due date is that work is really busy for me in January because I have many year-end statements, billing and tax reports that I have to complete. Luckily, I’ll have a little more time now, and I don’t need to worry so much about if I go a little early. The only upsetting thing is that I am now 2 weeks ahead in all of my pregnancy books, articles, and emails that I subscribe to, so I don’t know what to do for a few weeks.
Anyway, it’s been a stressful week, and hopefully all will be calm for the rest of my second trimester (which goes until November 25th now – my half birthday!)
Glad everything seems to be going well! Bummer that your dates were wrong but yeah that you get to enjoy two "added" weeks of pregnancy! ;) I can't wait to find out if the peanut is a boy or a girl! Glad you are writing this blog and I have a way to stalk you and the baby ; )
