Doctor Appointment #2

Well, yesterday was a long day...Shelby was up at 6:30 and we were all out of the house by 7:30. I had a work meeting at 9:00 in Miles City, Brad had a chiropractor appt at 10:00 and my baby Doc. appt was at 1:30. Poor Shelby didn't get a nap until 4:30 when we headed home from Miles City after doing some shopping too. She was worn out!

My doctor appointment went very well....VERY quick, like 5 minutes maybe. We have (hopefully) gotten Shelby convinced that there is only 1 baby in there. A fiesty baby at that...everytime Doc would try to find the heartbeat, the baby would kick and squirm away. He/She's heartbeat was at 154 this time and Shelby's eyes were HUGE when she finally heard it. She thought if she touched my belly she would be able to feel it....it was pretty cute. She told Dr. Rauh that she is naming the baby after the "Knight Rider" car and a white kitty....SO it's name would be Kit Kat McWilliams. I beg to differ that one, but we will see.

So now the fight is officially on--Boy or Girl. We will find out on April 2nd though...my U/S is set for 1:00 and I meet with the Doc at 1:45. Shelby keeps asking me if I know what it is and am just not telling her. She's getting excited...especially now that my belly is getting rounder and she can tell it is getting bigger.

After last week's scare I was just grateful to hear the heartbeat. He said a lot of the pain is probably the round ligament pains and it will get worse before it gets better. He said to keep a watchful eye out for blood in my urine as that would mean kidney stones--since I had the backache too, but is pretty sure that isn't the problem. I am drinking lots of water and "going" fine, so I am hoping/thinking it's the liagaments too. All of my bloodwork was great and my thyroid is doing wonderful...all in all he said perfect! That is a huge relief and I am glad I haven't been as sick as I was with Shelby (**knock on wood**) My appetite has come back, but some days are worse with the nausea then others, but livable. Getting tired a lot too, so hoping the energy comes back soon.

Thanks to ALL for the well wishes. We will keep you posted.
