I've been going to ultrasounds really often, because she is curled up in a funny position. The doctors have been having trouble seeing some of the things they wanted to see. Mainly her spine. They could see the top, where it meets up with her head. And they could see the bottom where it became her tailbone. But there was a little section in between that was eluding the machines. They kept thinking the bigger she got she would move around more and they could see. Well, no. apparently baby Margaux is quite happy right where she sits, which is breech. It's her happy spot. She doesn't move much from it. She kicks and punches around (mostly in the wee hours of the morning), but she stays pretty much put. The doctors told me that she has plenty of time to turn into the right position. She's also a sleepy head, she yawns a lot in the many ultrasounds we've had. She's even sucked on her little arm.
Here's her little profile
and this is the bottom of her large foot and the top of her head.
See what I mean about being folded up like a taco. And she definitely has my foot and toes!
Well today should be the last ultrasound for a while. I went to a special doctor and they could see her spine pretty well. All looked good, as well as everything else they saw. She weighs 1 lb 9 oz and her legs are a little longer than they should be (like mom and dad). The doctor's office about gave me a heart attack though. They said everything looked great as I left. No need to come back. Well I grab some lunch, get to the office, eat and then see that I have a missed call. I check the voicemail. They scheduled me a follow up ultrasound next week. What? Another one? I got a little worried. I had been told everything was fine. I run to court come back. They had called and left another message that my next appointment would be the following week after that. WHAT. IS. GOING. ON?!?! So I called immediately, a bit freaked out. Explaining nicely, to the nice lady, the doctor had told me everything is fine. Did I miss something? After waiting on hold for a bit, the nice lady was very apologetic that there had been a mix up and everything was fine and that I did not need to come back. She had spoken to the doctor and everything was fine. My heart rate returned to normal, but I do hope that my regular doctor gets MY information. The lady in front of me was pretty upset and apparently had some complications. I really hope that my doctor doesn't get someone else's info thinking it's mine.
