14 week appointment

Well I got to see my little monkey on Friday!! The doc tried to find the h/b with the doplar, but was not having any success. She warned me in advance that she was using the older doplar so it could take a while. Well after searching a minute or so she decided we should just hop on the u/s machine rather than waste time and build anxieties searching. So my little peanut had his/her hands up by the face and s/he gave several good kicks. The feet were crossed at the ankles. What a relief!!
As for the apponitment we discussed my high sugars so I will go in fot the glucose tolerance test in 2 weeks. And then a week after that I go to a high risk doctor and about a week after that I will have an extensive u/s. They need to check the baby's heart b/c sugars this high this early could lead to birth defects (generally a hole in the heart). We'll just have to wait and see.
I also lost 2 lbs. I just started working out and of course I am eating much healthier so I'm not concerned. We're hoping the new work out routine will bring my sugars down. That's it for now!!

All in all, it sounds like good news and a good appointment. I bet you'll get those sugars down so there will be nothing to worry about. Hang in there!!
