A Visit With the Girls

Tuesdays are the only day that I have class with any of the girls in my senior class. Today after our class was over we went to see our ultrasound teacher but he wasn't there. We then decided to practice scanning each other in the lab, as another of the girls and myself are prego. To our surprise the lab had two newer machines so we decided to try them out. We had a really great time, as we hardly get to hang out anymore. Everyone in my class are very talented scanners, here are a few pictures that the girls took for me.

Doctor's Appt

Today we had our monthly doctor's appointment. Sometimes we wonder really how important these appointments are since they only last 5 minutes or so but my mother reminded me that everything is important when it comes to our baby. Overall the appointment went well we met another of the doctors in our group (whom we really liked). He did the Doppler on my stomach so we could hear the baby's heartbeat..it was there and beating strong. Then he answered some of our questions, one being about sweets..yay now I can eat sweets without Chris worrying about gestational diabetes as much (or hiding all of my candy). We scheduled our next appointments for March when we get our official anatomy sono and then the monthly visit. No one at my doctor's office knows that I do ultrasound or that I have already had some scans done. LOL

My last day

Today was my last day at my current clinical site. It was sad to leave all of my new friends. As I am into the second trimester I can no longer scan myself as I do not want to know the baby's gender. One of the girls scanned me today so I could get one last peek at the baby, since I will be rotating to a new site on Monday. The baby was not very cooperative as it faced my back with its butt down so getting a nice profile was out. However we got a few cute pictures of the baby's face, feet, and spine. I plan on going back to my clinical site to visit and then maybe we will check on the baby as I get farther along too.
