It feels like Christmas or Valentine's Day today! I have my 18 weeks ultrasound appointment. All day yesterday I was thinking about how am I going to hold my bladder.. First time I read the instruction from the doctor, I read it in Chinese. It says drink 32oz of water, or half if you are close to the due date. I was thinking... great! I can't drink 32 oz of water and hold it for even 30 min but 2 hours?! no way! Then I read the English instruction.. it says -- drink half (16 oz) if you are 18 weeks or further alone! Yippee!! I am so glad I read English!
So Tim picked me up this afternoon to go for the ultrasound. I was feeling okay since I drank only 16oz of water. The clinic was filled with unhappy people - people with full bladder! It's not a happy place.. until your name is called...
Our baby was camera shy today. The technician kept trying to make the baby move over, but he/she just stayed face down. We didn't get a good picture like we did with Bonsai. However, the technician said everything was good so we are happy about that.
After the ultrasound, Tim took me for a long drive to Tsawwassen. We were there to pick up my Valentine's present. It was the baby's heart rate monitor! It worked really well, I finally recorded the heartbeat. We will post a video recording the heartbeat in the next blog.
Happy Valentine's Day, T & baby Wong
