THE VIABILITY SCAN DAY
So today was a nerve wrecking day but I decided to stay at home because I wasn’t sure how I would react to the out come (if it were bad)
Symptoms: sore bbs (but these are starting to subside) – good or bad thing? I guess we will see today, nausea in the afternoons, heart burn, swollen bbs.
So my appointment is at 11:45 am.
I stay at home and play Sims and get my mind off things.
Its time to go.
When we get to the doctors office we are the only ones there and are swiftly accepted into the doctors office. Dr Berios is an amazing doctor. He is really great, firm but loving too.
He asks if we have questions and I say to him that I don’t want to ask any until we know there is something viable there. He agrees and sends me into his scanning room.
I’m shaking like a leaf! I am now so nervous. I pray:
“Please Lord let us see a heart beat”
I lie on the bed and the doctor comes in, he checks my blood pressure “perfect, he says”
Then we start the vaginal u/s.
I close my eyes and pray again.
Should I open them?
When I do we can see the uterus… and there’s the gestational sac… and there’s a blob – the baby. I don’t see a heart beat… why cant I see it.
“just wait” says the doc “I’m trying to get a good position here”
“THERE IT IS” blurts Brett
Oh my, yes there it is… our baby’s little beating heart.
I burst into tears, tear of happiness, and tears of relief… I’m over joyed. Brett is confused with my crying, “are you ok?” he says
“Yes, yes” I say “its beautiful, just look at that”
The doc lets us listen to it,
“162 beats per minute, that’s healthy and strong” the doctor says
“Its measuring 7weeks 2 day is that correct” the doctor says
“YES” I shout “exactly on time!!!” (I was 7wks 3 days as per my ovulation date.
I am so happy and excited and just… well still crying!!!
WHAT A WONDERFUL WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. A GIFT FROM GOD!!!
We finish up and get a pick of our little JuneBug.
