It looks like we’re having a ….
You’ll just have to wait.
We know and you don’t.
OKAY, really, enough of that. (Now you just have to sit through the whole story!)
Today I was at Target and I trolled parking for about 20 minutes. Finally, I found the perfect spot and I was waiting for the car to pull out. Out of nowhere this bizotch pulled from the next lane over, right into the spot. Of course, I yelled out quite a few prime words and also yelled out that I was pregnant and had a two year old in the car!
She had a childseat in her car and I figured there might be some “sisterhood” among mothers. Yeah, right. The wench, just got out of her car, didn’t look at me and walked into Target.
At that point my blood was boiling and so I parked in BFE (way far away) and went into Target bound to find this ho. She was nowhere to be found. So I picked up my rolls of wrapping paper and could feel my heart pounding. Also, I started having some cramping in my upper right belly. Before long I was a total mess and crying up and down the aisles.
So, I decided to give Margot a call and then call our midwives. The midwives said to go to Labor and Delivery at the hospital so I met Margot at the hospital.
There was quite the mess at the hospital because I went directly to L&D and then I ran into the midwife and she said that I needed to go to admissions to do paperwork and get a room. So we went to the second floor and admissions called labor and delivery and L&D said that I should go to the ER! So I went to the ER. Of course, nothing goes fast there and after waiting in line for ten minutes because the printer was broken I was finally checked in.
I sat down for two seconds and the triage nurse saw me instantly and started taking my vitals. When she was half way done she got a call that they were waiting for me in labor and delivery!
The midwife first started off by asking where the pain was and trying to do the doppler and find the heartbeat. Of course, every midwife has a problem finding the heartbeat because I’m quite fluffy and because the baby is so low! So she tries another doppler. No heartbeat.
So she goes to use the ultrasound that’s within reach and of course we are able to see the baby swimming around happily and going nuts in there! The heartbeat was around 150 beats per minute. Of course, she wanted to hear the heartbeat too. So she went back to the doppler. After she couldn’t get it for a few minutes I asked her if she wanted me to help out since we have a doppler at home. In seconds I was able to find the baby’s heartbeat.
So, she was about to release us but I pleaded and asked about placental bleeds, etc. I also brought up the fact we had been through five invitros and already lost one baby. Finally, she said “why don’t we just get a “real” ultrasound”.
Of course, that made me a very happy girl. Even though we had to wait two plus hours with a very grouchy and non-napping girl.
After watching way too many talkshows and cartoons they finally came up and picked me up for the ultrasound.
Again, the kid was totally crazy and moving around like crazy. There wasn’t once when he/she was sitting still and so the ultrasound tech had to literally get the picture and freeze it. She took pictures of everything from femur to brain.
Everything measured perfect and the baby is 6 ounces! The placenta was in tact and of course this was probably more the case of a hormonal, pissed off mama, than it was of something really going on!
We were able to get a DVD of the ultrasound that we’ll have to post later tonight.
After the ultrasound I was discharged pretty quickly and now I’m at home lounging!
**I’m really just glad to know that the kid is doing great and SHE is causing hell already!**
That’s right….we’re having a
GIRL!!
We’re assuming since we didn’t see boy parts that it’s a girl!
