Yesterday Doug and I spent a half of a day at the hospital having test run on Lilly to make sure she was
OK. Last week my Ob decided to make me a high risk
patient because Lilly was not growing like Bryce. With that being said he scheduled me with the perinatal unit for extra testing.
We arrived at the hospital around 9:30 am for an U/S at 10 we
didn't get in till 11. The nurse tech did her whole procedure which seemed like forever and then says Bryce is almost 5 lbs and
Lilly is almost 3 but I am going to go report to the doctor and while
I'm gone the tech student is going to try and find a 4 chamber heart photo before she can leave the room. "You say what?" I never agreed to this. So another hour or at least it seemed that long passes and at this point I cant lay on my back any longer and ask to get up. She quits and leaves and the doctor comes in and tells us the placentas look good. Lilly has no fluids around her and
that's dangerous but she seems to be growing just slower than she should and that could just be because she was an
IVF baby but that he wants me back weekly for monitoring and we will keep and eye on her and go from there. In the mean time he wanted a non stress test. But there was a problem with that. The nurses were all gone to lunch and that I
would have to come back at 1 so go get lunch and see you in a hour.
off to the cafeteria we went,
believe it or not but the food was really good. After lunch we still had some time so we went to the gift shop and looked around. So many things that I want so that was not a great idea. After we was done looking it was close to time so we headed back and waiting in the lobby for them to call me in.
Back in the office we headed back to and U/S room so she could see where the twins were laying so she could hook them up easier. Bryce was head down and Lilly was breech.
Off to room A in the non stress test room there the nurse hooks me up but cant find the hearts correctly because they were so close to each other. This was supposed to be a 20 min test and 1 hour later and i am still not hooked up so she goes to get the head nurse who then takes another hour to hook me up. Finally all hooked up 2 hours later and minutes go by and Lilly moves and I need to be re hooked up again. This sucks by
finally at 4 I am done and get to make my appointments for every week after and get to go home.
Now today I am just waiting for my OB to call me with my results and what he wants to go next.
