Perinatologist

Today was such an amazing day! We went and saw the perinatologist for 12 week testing. Basically they are testing for down syndrome and making sure the baby is healthy and doing well.

Our little peanut looked soooooo good! He/She is now truly looking like a baby and is so adorable!

The whole testing process took forever. The baby has to be in a certain position in order for the doctor to get the correct measurments. Wow was that a tough one for our peanut. We waited so long in the waiting room that peanut fell asleep and was very lathargic. Peanut was sound asleep when we started the ultrasound so of course he/she was faced the completely wrong way.

So, to fix this problem, doc sent us on a 10 minute walk outside to get peanut moving and hopefully get him/her to turn. Well when we got back and the doc re did the ultrasound, Peanut was still in the same position and had not moved. Haha, already have a stubborn child. Doc continued to push very hard on my stomch to try and move the baby but of course that was not working not to mention it was very uncomfortable for me! I felt like he was hitting my poor child! Talk about already being a protective mom :).

So doc decided to try one last trick. He literally positioned the table I was on, downwards. He tilted it all the way back so my head was pointing down. Well that did the trick and peanut got moving and got in the perfect position for the doc to get the right measurements. Everything looked amazing! He got some great pics of our baby that has already stolen our hearts. He did one 3D picture and then one from the side! Amazing how technology is these days! 

On another note, we get to meet our doctor who will be delivering peanut and be my new OB for the remainder of my pregnancy. We are very excited to meet Dr. Klaich (who is actually the cousin of one of Indy's co-workers...small world) and get a lot of questions answered. I will post more tomorrow after our appointment with him! Muah, love you all!
