As for my regular OB (Dr. Anderson) he said everything looks good as can be. My BP wasn't high this time and all my bloodwork for them looked good and came back in the clear that I had done last time. He had just gotten caught up in the loop with my paperwork from the specialist and Grady and felt so bad about our situation. He said when my paperwork came in and across his desk that a movie had come to mind and he had thought of us. He took me to his office and spent a good 10 minutes trying to find this movie that was on Netflix for Shaun and I to watch that we could relate to. "Something that God made". We see him in 3 weeks again too. TONS of appointments! PS Sugar test is next visit....Yuck!
Just wanted to post a quick update about how our specialist and OB visit went today... Two appointments in one day too might I add! We saw Dr. Adair at the ROC today (specialist) and he was hilarious. I liked him much better than our last visit. He helped lighten the mood a lot. It turns out we will get to see Andrew EVERY time we go to the ROC so they can keep track of measurements, his heart, and stuff like that. He's 2 oz away from 2 lbs at 26 weeks! He's going to be a good size when he gets here I'm hoping. All of his measurements are on track (so they don't think he has any kind of genetics issues) which I took the genetics blood test (not the amniocentesis one) and will get those results within 10 days. He told us to go directly to Erlanger if I have any issues and Erlanger only. That way they can get me flown out to Atlanta (which we kind of expected that already). The only thing that's really new is they have me counting his movements and kicks EVERY day in a 2 hour period after breakfast and a two hour period after dinner. I have to get 10 movements in both those 2 hour time frames or I have to go in to the hospital to check on Andrew. So now I'm keeping a log of every movement up to 10X2 in those two time periods. The reason for this is he said sometimes as they get bigger their movements start getting weaker and weaker and slowing down when they have HLHS and sometimes can cause heart failure in the womb and we definitely don't want that, so I'm counting away at all his movements. Lucky for me I got a super active little booger ;). The specialist will see us again in 3 weeks then as time gets closer for him to get here (38 weeks) I will be going every week for closer monitoring. My heart rate was still high today at both visits (130+ resting). :/
