I almost peed my pants!

This morning bright and early, actually it was still dark. I had to get up to get ready for my first u/s with the OB's office. For u/s's we have to go to the Brighton office. I had to drink 2 bottles of water before 7am and hold my pee until after my u/s at 8am. Driving there was TORTURE! I had to go soooo bad! I seriously almost peed my pants! We got there about ten minutes to 8 and I had to go relieve some of the pressure. Andy found it amazing that I could just go a little and then stop. Guys can't really do that I guess. Still, we had to wait about 15 minutes or so, and the pressure was still unbearable! When the Sonographer came and got us, and told me to get up on the table I thought I was gonna lose it all right there. Then I had to lay back, I may have trickled a little. But I was concentrating so hard on holding it in!

She put the jelly on my stomach, and it was very warm! I wasn't expecting that! Much better than cold, especially today! My bladder was gigantic and she could see my uterus, but couldn't see anything in it. I think it's because I'm too fat! But she said that it is still kind of early, so it may be harder to see. She focused in on my ovaries and then I got to go pee! PHEW! She did the internal u/s as well, so she could get a better view of the baby and measure the HB! We could clearly see the yolk sac, but the baby was a big blob...the u/s machine at the fert. dr. was much better. But oh well. We got to see the HB and it was measuring 171 bpm! Baby measured 8 weeks, right on track! We got a picture of our blob, and went our merry way.

My next appointment is with one of the OB's at the Greece office. This is going to be a normal internal exam, so it'll be easier than holding my pee for hours! HA! That is next Wednesday, and then it'll be a whole month til my next visit. Kinda sad we won't be having u/s every week like we have been...but kinda glad not to have to go to the Dr. so much anymore!
