We have a doctor's appointment this morning.
Our doctor's office is on the 22nd floor of the hospital.
Our bags are in the car so we'll be hoping the doctor tells us to go down to labour and delivery on the 3rd floor.
Fingers crossed.

Progress
We were at the doctors again this morning.
It was a quick appointment, we were straight in and out.
The doctor did his thing and told us that my wife is 2 centimetres dilated which is good progress from last week.
The magic number is 4 centimetres. That is when they will book my wife into the hospital.
We made another appointment for next Monday, but it could be before then.
Fingers crossed.

Latest Doctor visit
We had a doctor's appointment today.
We were due for another ultrasound and after our last one a couple of weeks ago when the baby was already 6 lbs 6 oz we were expecting (or hoping) for her to have grown so much that the doctor would tell us it was time to get her out.
Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
The baby is now 7 lb 1 oz, which is perfectly normal and the doctor told us to make an appointment for next Monday as usual.
The ultrasound was more rushed than normal as the office was quite busy. The baby was not playing along so the technician took the measurements and that was about it. We couldn't really see anything so we didn't even get a picture this time.
At least we know everything is ok though.
Maybe next week..

No news..
We just got back from our doctors appointment and there's not much to report.
Dr Hold did his checks but the baby is not ready yet.
He did say that the baby is quite big as we knew she was 6 pounds 6 ounces when we had the ultrasound on the 2nd July.
We're scheduled for another ultrasound next week so maybe we'll know more then.

Just like your Father
We had the latest scan yesterday.
We're about 5 weeks until the due date now and we'll have weekly doctors appointments from now on.
Our appointment was early morning so the office was pretty quiet. The ultrasound technician was able to spend more time with us which is a good thing because thew baby was not being co-operative at all.
The technician (nurse?) did all of the measurements and then started prodding and poking trying to wake the baby up so we could see her properly.
We gog to see the baby's heart beating on the screen and the blood flowing around her body.
She eventually woke up and gave us a couple of minutes to watch her blinking and pursing her lips, then she yawned and rolled bazck over and that was that. It was at this point my wife stated that the baby takes after her father.
I'm not sure what she meant by that obviously but what we do know is that neither of us can wait to finally meet her!

And the result is...
We had a doctor's appointment yesterday and they did a full ultrasound and measured all of the body parts.
This was also the day we could find out the sex.
We've said all along that we were going to wait so it was a surprise. However, the thought of being able to know and buy clothes and decorate the nursery was too much and we found out.
It's a girl!
Blimey. Now what?
My family is all boys so it will be a culture shock for us, although I don't know anything about babies so it was going to be a rude awakening whatever it was.
We're both really pleased though and it definitely seems more real now. I think seeing the baby clearer on ultrasound and knowing it's a girl has made it sink in properly now.
We even had a walk round Babies 'r us last night but managed to not get too carried away with buying stuff.
Now we know, I think it's going to be more exciting planning for her arrival.
We're just over half way through now and the baby is definitely more photogenic than last time.

Butterflies
Yesterday morning my wife started to feel the baby move for the first time.
At least she thinks she did. She wasn't sure at first.
The way she described the feeling, it sounded a bit like butterflies, or little bubbles moving around. It could've just been gas I suppose but she felt the same thing again last night when she got into bed.
She's started to out grow her old clothes now so we made another visit to the maternity shop and bought her a new wardrobe.
These clothes fit much better and she looks pregnant now instead of her old clothes fitting incorrectly.
We have a doctors appointment tomorrow where we could found out the sex. Up to now we're not planning to but who knows when we get there!

The results aren't in...yet
We had a doctor's appointment on Monday and everything went ok.
The baby was a bit more co-operative this time and let us hear it's heartbeat.
We went to get the results of the blood tests they did last week but the results aren't in yet. The lab are backed up so we should hear something in the next few days.
They said they'd phone us when the results are in so we don't have to go back in.
It was a good chance to talk to the doctor again though and ask questions. Dr Hold seems really nice and will put us at ease when the baby is ready to make an entrance. The thing I like about him is he makes eye contact with me and knows that I need to know stuff and have questions of my own.
Once he confirms the baby is ok at the beginning of the appointment, my wife probably switches off and starts thinking about how we're (I'm) going to decorate the nursery etc. Dr Hold realises this and tells me everything so I can fill her in later when she tries to tell friends and family what the doctor said.
Our next appointment is in three weeks when they will be able to determine the sex, although we don't plan on finding out.
By that point we'll also be half way though. Time flies eh?

A few more grey hairs..but a happy ending
Today, I found out what it is like to be a parent worried about the well being of their child.
We had a doctor's appointment today and although everything turned out ok in the end, it was very worrying at one point.
Today was supposed to be an easy appointment to meet for the first time the doctor who would be delivering the baby, Dr Michael Hold.
Once my wife's name was called we were taken through to the back where they did the usual checks before taking us into one of the rooms. The idea is for a nurse (or whatever they're called) to do all of the routine stuff and then check the baby's heartbeat before the doctor sees you.
Only today, the nurse couldn't find the baby's heart beat. She tried for a long time, possibly about 10 minutes, although it seemed a lot longer at the time before attempting to reassure us that sometimes the person doing the scan can't locate the baby but another nurse usually can.
She did say she heard the heartbeat but only for a short time and she wanted to hear it for longer to make sure everything was ok.
So she leaves the room and another nurse comes in, introduces herself and gets straight down to the business of locating the baby's heartbeat. This nurse was a little more forceful and pressed the doplar thingy a bit harder into my wife's stomach. She moved it around and heard lots of various sounds but nothing like a heartbeat.
She eventually did find something with a heart rate of 133 and said though it was low for a baby, it was probably too high for a normal person so that was probably it.
We were starting to get a little bit worried by this point and that wasn't helped when the nurse took my wife's pulse and her face changed dramatically. She mumbled something to herself and ran out of the room.
We were both left wondering what was going on and were now very worried something was wrong.
Luckily, a few minutes later Dr Hold came to the room with an ultrasound machine. It was much briefer introduction than we probably expected but by now we just wanted to know the baby was ok.
Dr Hold did the ultrasound and after a few minutes located the baby who was moving around a lot. He showed us the blood flowing through the baby's body and legs and arms moving around but he still struggled to detect a heartbeat.
When he eventually did we were very relieved. Even when we could see the baby moving, it wasn't until we could actually hear a strong heartbeat we were sure the baby was ok. He took various measurements of the baby, the circumference of the head, length of the arms, legs etc.
When he put all the figures into the computer it said the size was that of a baby 16 weeks and 4 days old. My wife is actually 15 weeks 5 days so the doctor said this is a sign that the baby is healthy and growing. He then tried to find a good picture for us to take home but I think he got our baby's picture mixed up with something from Area 51. If it is our baby then it seems to have got it's looks from my wife's side of the family!
After that, we just asked the doctor a few questions we had and he asked us if we wanted the triple screen blood tests to check for Down's Syndrome etc. We agreed and we went over to the lab for them to take some blood.
My wife had previously suggested we get a dokpar thing for home so we could hear the baby's heartbeat whenever we wanted. After today, I think she now agrees it wouldn't be a good idea. Everytime we couldn't find it there would be a mass panic.
I suppose this is how it will be for the rest of our lives now, worrying about our children's well being so we better get used to it.
The results of the triple screen, which actually became a quin screen aill be in this week so our next appointment is next Monday to discuss the results.
Hopefully next time the baby will be a bit more co-operative!

MOT results are in (or not)
You may remember that my wife had a doctor's appointment on January 14th which was just to check that everything was ok with her and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
As usual, the hospital told us that if we didn't hear from them everything is ok. You can read my thoughts on this policy here.
So it's now been 3 weeks so I think everything was ok. They did send my wife a postcard telling her that one of the tests came back ok and I know she really appreciated that information being shared with everyone who handled the mail that day as using an envelope would be too much trouble!
I was ill on the day of the appointment, well, actually I was ill all that week with a fever of 102 but my wife decided I should sit in a waiting room full of pregnant women.
When we went through for the actual inspection they left us sat in a tiny room for 45 minutes until the nurse decided to show her face. You can imagine how much fun that was with my fever and my wife shivering in the lovely paper vest they gave her to wear.
Anyway, we did get to hear the baby's heartbeat again and it was still strong so everything looks good.
The next appointment is the 15th February. This is when we can find out the sex of the baby if we want so I need to make sure I'm there to tell the nurse we don't want to find out. If my wife goes to this one on her own I'll probably come home to a spare room full of pink or blue baby stuff.

A Birthday Ultrasound
We went to Memorial City Hospital on December 11th which also happens to be my wife's birthday.
My wife gets very excited about her birthday and this year was no different. I woke up as she was getting out of bed and asked where she was going. She replied she was going for a shower and to get ready so I looked at the clock. It was 12.30am. We'd been in bed about 2 hours!
She got back into bed and tried to get back to sleep. She seemed to wake up every hour until 5.30am when she decided that was late enough and she was going for a shower.
I think she was excited about her birthday, but also nervous about the doctors appointment. This would be the first time we'd actually see our baby and she was worried something would be wrong.
While she was getting ready I got her birthday gifts from the other room and laid them on the bed for her to open when she came back into the bedroom.
She loved all her gifts, and we had breakfast before heading out to the hospital.
The appointment was 9am but we got there just before 8am as my wife had to go to the clinic first to take a glucose test before waiting an hour before they took her blood. The test is to see how the body reacts to the drink and to detect diabetes.
My wife asked for the orange flavour drink after a tip from a friend but it wasn't long before I could tell even that wasn't too tasty.
She did manage to drink it all down and we went to sit in the waiting room for the doctor.
After about 4 minutes, my wife very nearly revisited the drink she'd just had so I stocked up on tissues and made sure there was a bin handy incase she couldn't hold it next time.
I tried to be encouraging as she would only have to take the test again if she threw it all back up.
After about 20 minutes her stomach seemed to be settling and it got a bit easier.
About 8.50am we were called by the nurse to have the ultrasound. The person doing the ultrasound was much younger than I was expecting but I suppose that's just a sign I'm getting older!
My wife got undressed and got in position. Very quickly, and without much warning if I'm completely honest, the ultrasound thingy was in place and all of a sudden my wife's insides were displayed on a large plasma TV on the wall. The nurse/ultrasound child/scanner person pointed out the baby and turned up the volume so we could hear the heartbeat.
It was a very strong healthy heartbeat and it was pretty amazing to hear at such an early stage (6 weeks and 2 days). The baby is only 4.6cm and looks a bit like a cashew nut.

We were given a picture of the baby and went back to the waiting room to wait for the nurse practioner we'd seen last week, Mary-Helen.
While we were waiting, an hour had passed since my wife took the glucose drink so she went back to the clinic to have some blood taken.
The Nurse practioner told us everything was ok with the baby and the tests my wife had done at our last visit were ok.
She gave some more advice on eating and exercise and told us about what would happen throughout the pregnancy and the type of appointments we'd have.
The next appointment is January 14th which will be more like an MOT for my wife to make sure everything is working as it should.
They told us they would only contact us about the glucose test if something showed up. The results would be back in about a week. It's been over three weeks now and we haven't heard anything so hopefully that means everything was ok.

Confirmation
On Tuesday December 1st we had our first doctor's appointment.
At this point, I still wasn't 100% convinced my wife was pregnant. I knew there was a good chance, and she thought she was, but somewhere at the back of my mind was a nagging doubt. I suppose it was a defence mechanism to prevent too much disappointment if something went wrong.
My wife had done research on doctors in the area and decided on the Women's Health Care Center of Houston.
Once there, they took my wife off for some preliminary checks, weight, blood etc and then I joined her ready for a chat with the doctor.
The first thing I noticed when we entered the room was the stirrups. This was a new experience for me and I must admit they made me keep my legs tightly closed when I sat down. Stirrups are not something men usually see at the doctor's office so it was a bit unexpected.
The doctor, or nurse, whatever she was confirmed my wife was pregnant, asked a few questions, answered a few questions and gave us some general information on nutrition, exercise etc all without giving me a second glance.
My wife had already told me that this was no longer about me so I suppose I should've been prepared for that!
Overall, it was a good experience and everything went smoothly.
We made our next appointment for the end of the following week at their office at Memorial City Hospital for an ultrasound and also a glucose test to check for diabetes etc.
Memorial City Hospital is where our doctor delivers and isn't too far from where we live.

Judgement Day
As you know, my wife and I went on a trip for our first Wedding Anniversary in November.
We got back late on Monday the 23rd, but not too late to stop by my parents house to pick up the dogs, Boomer & Busby.
On the way home, my wife asked if we could stop at Walgreens to pick up a home pregnancy test so we did.
When we got home, we went straight to bed and I didn't think any more of it.
Due the time difference, we were awake early the next morning. I heard my wife get up and go into the bathroom.
A few minutes later she shouted to me "should I tell you now or should I tell you later?".
That was my first cue something wasn't quite normal so I looked at the clock and put on my glasses. I always seem to hear better when I'm wearing my glasses for some reason. It was 3.30am.
"I'm pregnant". Those were the next words out of her mouth.
I don't know if it was the jet lag, or shock but I didn't really react. Sometimes my wife messes up these kinds of things so I wasn't letting myself get too carried away at this point. It was only after a week of taking ovulation prediction tests that she finally read the instructions to find out she'd been doing it all wrong so I think I was justified in my hesitation.
We talked for a little while, then I went to work nice and early.
She took another home pregnancy test the next day and when it too was positive, we made an appointment to see the doctor.
