First OB appointment - kind of

We had our first appointment yesterday at the new OB clinic. There is not much to report on that, we met with the nurse to go over our history and had some blood test and 2 hours later we were on our way. That was about all there was to that. We do meet with the doctor on 10/1 for our first real appointment. I'm not real sure what the appointment will consist of but we do have an appointment after that for the Nuchal Translucency Test. That is an ultrasound to check for downs syndrome and the such. Ashlea and Bill are super excited about the ultrasound and getting to see her little baby again. On the other side of things, being pregnant at 50 really has not been that bad. I have had no morning sickness so that is good. I am now beginning to come out of the tiredness, that was a butt kicker with have to work a full time job and trying to maintain a household. Luckily I have a super understanding husband, we ate out a lot and I spent pretty much my entire weekends on the couch. Hopefully I will have a cute little baby picture to share with you next week.

Ultrasound update

First, let me apologize for posting so late. I have been swamped at work and have been so exhausted I can hardly function. The ultrasound results were great. We had the test on 7w5d and the baby measured 7w6d so that it good. Better to be a little ahead than a little behind. The heartbeat was 160 and that is right where it should be so all in all it was a great appointment. We have now graduated from the fertility clinic and will be going to a High Risk OB, not that it is necessary but at Ashlea's insistence. I'm not sure how that will be any different but I guess we will find out more at our first appointment. More to come!!!
