Just another ultrasound...

Today Tyler and I went to an ultrasound together.  Like I had mentioned before, Tyler has not been to one of my ultrasounds in a long time.  He was really looking forward to being able to see little Madison's face, but already starting to take after her father, Madison was being stubborn and wouldn't lay in the right position.  So Tyler never got to see her face, or her profile.  However, the sonographer showed us the back of her head with she said has hair on it!!!  Other then that the ultrasound what pretty much just measurements, and all that boring stuff.  After my ultrasounds I have been going for a non-stress test, and like before Madison was not co-operating!  Every time the nurse would position the monitor so that they could get a reading on her heart rate, she would move and the nurse would have to look for it again.  We finally got the monitor in a position that worked at least long enough to get somewhat of a reading, but I had to push the monitor pretty hard into my stomach; what a stubborn child!  When all was said and done Madison's biophysical profile received 8/8!!  She weighs approximately 1.9 kgs, the weight is always kind of a guess because they sometimes do not include the measurements of the omphalocele.
  After the ultrasound, and non stress test we had just enough time to grab a quick bite to eat before going to see Dr. Cooper.  Dr. Cooper, I may have mentioned. is my obstetrician, who I actually never really get to see.  I book appointments with her, but it is always some other doctor, or resident that I end up seeing.  Today was no different, I was seen by a different resident, which was fine, she was really nice and helpful.  We told the resident that we were wondering if we could get a date for the delivery of the baby, and she actually said  YES!!  I have been given the run around for some time now, so a date was like a mini-miracle.  The resident talked with Dr. Cooper, and they had decided on October 8!!  Right now this is only a tentative date, because the labor and delivery unit has to confirm, but they are pretty confident that this will be the date!!  We are so excited to have some kind of idea, so we can prepare!  Thankfully our last day of work is October 1st!!  If the delivery date changes I will be sure to let you know.
