Specialist visit

Okay so I dont know about you but going to specialist sounds very intimidating. I was so scared. I was just thinking in my head, gosh why can't I be normal like most of my friends and go to my normal dr and be done. But no I have to have this dumb high blood pressure issue.
To get an appointment I had to be referred by my Dr and the soonest they could get me in was two weeks. My appointment was this past Wednesday at 8 in the morning. How lovely!! I hardly slept the previous two nights because I had been working very hard on my final project for my art class. The good thing was that I found the place all by myself and that I was the first one there. I was very on time. :)
I waited for what felt like forever! SO annoying and I had to see about five or six different people. Finally, they called my name in and I went to the Ultrasound tech room first. Let me tell you it was so nice.. Big, and the lady that did all that was awesome. She took about 80 pictures with the ultrasounds and gave them all to me on a CD. :D I am very excited about that. She also told me what the sex is. I wasn't expecting to find out but I was super excited. So she found the babys legs and stufff.. and we're having a baby BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was in complete shock since I honestly thought I was going to have a little girl. Thats okay though because we are going to have so much fun with either. I was super excited that I just wanted to call Chris (since he wasn't able to go with me :( ) , but I couldn't because it said not to use your cell phones in the room. He was sleeping anyways. Then, after the thirty minute ultrasounds the Dr came in and told me everything looks good. After that I got sent to a medical assistant where I had to wait another 20 minutes only so she could take my blood pressure and tell me it was a little too high... As soon as I finished with that lady she sent another Dr and he interviewed me about tons of things and questions. He then concludes to tell me he doesn't want to put me on medication yet. He told me that I need to come back in a week because I will get my blood drawn today and theyre going to check my blood work and urine. Greattttt! So there I go and wait another ten to fifteen minutes so I can get pricked. YUCK, I honestly hate needles with a passion. So the last thing that they did to me was take a little tube thing of my blood. Finally, I got home around ten and I got to wake up my hunnie and tell him that he is going to be a father to a cute little boy. Chris was supper happy and then we called everyone to let them know.

What do I have to look forward to next week?? Well I have my regular Dr appointment on Tuesday and then on Wednesday I have a check up at the specialist. WO HOOOO who doesn't love the Doctors office right? Nothing like wasting a couple hours of your day. I know that I'm having the wrong attitude but it's very annoying to have two appointments in a week. Im just venting right now but honestly I feel blessed and not to mention blessed to have a little boy on the way.

Ob visit num 4

This visit was very quick in the beginning and then it kind of dragged but at least it was funny.

Chris and I got there perfectly on time and we called inside within 5 - 10 minutes. It's always a good thing when you don't have to wait long in the boring waiting room. Then I got weighed and we went into the little room. . She put on the blood pressure thing and then she told me it was still high. BOOO!!!!!!! :( I was so sad. She told me that those weren't the numbers I want and then we listened to the babys heart. The babys doing great and that makes me so happy. Im glad Rudd baby is doing well inside my belly. The Dr came in the room after that and he told me that I need to be referred to a specialist so I can get looked at and be given the right medicine. I dont know about you but that sounds scary to me and it makes me feel like a freak.
I don't know why my numbers are so high and yesterday I felt good. I dont understand what my body is doing. I just pray that everything works out and that I pull through healthy. I knew that pregnancy would be worth but I didn't know how or what would happen to my body.
Regardless I am so blessed to have the family, friends, and amazing husband. He is perfect to me and is so caring.

What happens next?

My next Ob Dr. appointment is December 20th, only five days before Christmas and hopefully we'll do another ultrasound then.
Im waiting to be called from the office so they can give me this specialist number so I can go there as soon as possible. I have to go there before my next OB appointment.

I honestly feel sad and I want to just get this overwith. My attitude is seriously-whatever while rolling my eyes. I need to be more positive but it's a little difficult. Until next time DRS.

Ob visit num 3

It was all going great and then went a little downward.

We started out with the normal getting weighed, then going into the room with the nurse taking my blood pressure. At this point I knew I wasn't feeling good at all, like I said I had a very stressful day. I had to be on the dumb computer for seven hours for an online test, and then finish a project that took forever!!!!!! My headwas throbbing and I just felt sick. I just felt so worried and anxious so when the nurse told me that my blood pressure was very high and it wasn't good I wasn't surprised. I was sad, upset, and I didn't like the news at all. Then they checked the babys heart beat and I felt much better when they told me that the baby was doing good. Once the Dr came into the room he told me that I need to come back in a week so he can check up on me and my blood pressure, and then if things remain the same I need to go on a specialist. GREAT! just what I want to hear. Anyways so after he told me that it was Ultrasound time. WOOO HOOOO. My parents and sister came to find out with us. They came into the room and the doctor started looking for the baby and then we saw it :D
The baby was moving around like a little shrimp or sea horse. I was so happy to see it moving around and active. He pointed out the spine, thigh bones, the head and the heart. The baby was in a position where we could not see what the sex of the baby is. BUmmer. We were all very excited but my baby was facing down and on the ultra sound we got just a side view. I have to admit I kind of went in there thinking we might not see what it is and that's okay it won't be the end of the world. Plus there's always next time.

So our Rudd baby decided to be stubborn and not let us see what it is. My next appointment will be december 20th, so we might find out then I dont know.

We sill love you Rudd baby even though your being a little stubborn :P

OB visit

Was very scary and nerve racking for me. I had to go all by myself which made me even more nervous. I wanted Chris to be next to me so bad. I didnt know what they were going to do and what I would be finding out. I was so excited all day and I couldn't wait for it to be 2:00 pm. This was my very first visit to the OB and this doctor as well . So it was a day of firsts. I had so many things running through my head and so many questions I wanted to ask him.
My doctors name is Dr. Tutt and his office is right by my house. I will be delivering at the hospital right of the freeway and highley. I am soooooo excited!!! His entire staff were awesome and very welcoming. As soon as I walked in I felt so good about it. I filled out all the paper work and time went by relatively fast. The nurse did the normal things before the doctor comes out and then he asked me some questions. Since im irregular and I wasnt sure at all about how far along I was he used a transvaginal ultrasound and he took a cute little picture of my baby bean. He took pictures of it and gave me one!! And this baby already is gorgeous. Ha ha Just kidding I cant tell yet but Im sure the baby is. Then he told me that I was about 6 weeks along. Honestly, I wish I was further along because I can't wait to meet our baby. Im so excited to be a mom and raise a child that looks like us. Our families are very excited for us to have our first child.
So then I asked him some questions and he explained to me some things that I needed to know and then he did some other things and told me that I would come back in two weeks to hear the heart beat :) I made sure the next time I scheduled it my husband would be able to make it. I will post an update to what we find out then.

I honestly was amazed by how awesome technology is and seeing the baby on the ultrasound. Although I can't see much it was a great feeling to find out Im really pregnant and that so far the babys doing great! I will keep doing what I have to do so that it will all work out.

I will be doing blood tests and doing all the fun pregnant things at the next appointment. YAY!!

I will post the ultrasound once I get a chance to scan it.

Next week

In my opinion I will be going on 8 weeks which equals 2 months!!! So i'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping to be close to my calculations. I read symptoms and from what I remember of the cycle business that sounds about right. I hope it's true and if it is im going to celebrate and have a party!
But really I am praying and praying to have a healthy and good pregnancy. Sometimes I think I should've waited to tell people but you know what it's my life and I can do what I want. I will tell who and when I want, with the input of my husband of course.

On Tuesday I have my first appointment with my OBGYN his name is Dr. Tutt. I am so excited, nervous, and happy about it. I just want to fast forward for it to be Tuesday already. I will update my blog as soon as I get on a computer. I am going to write everything down. I have so many questions and I want to hear what the doctor says.

I still can't believe Im pregnant sometimes. I doubt me being pregnant for reals. I dont know why my head messes with me. I just dont want for anything to go wrong. I want to get the first three months out of the way. Everyone and books say that they're the most important so I am trying to be very good about all the small and big things. I wonder if anyone worries as much as me?

One more thing about the first couple weeks. I am so emotional! I have never been so sensative than this. I am so delicate and picky about things recently.

Here are the two best examples as of lately:
1. I cried because I was overwhelmed about some idiot using my card and going on a shopping spree. THANKS JERK! You made a pregnant woman so pissed that she wanted to come to your house and punch you. This made my account negative for about 6 days. I hope you get caught.
2. This last Sunday we were about to go to church and my car wouldnt start. GREATTT!! Who doesnt love car troubles on a hot sunny day. We had to buy a new battery when we have 209403820843 million other things to pay. I hate how that happens.

No doubt in my mind that last weekend I felt like the ADVERSARY working so hard to break us down. To try and bring us down and make us feel like we couldnt do it. Like your stuck and you cant get up. Even though they're small things sometimes they seem big. I've realized that once something good comes along you are tempted (or at least I feel like I am ) to feel down . Satan knows that we are happy and are doing what's right and he wants to break that. He doesn't want us to be happy but on the other hand you have the worlds best shield *HEAVENLY FATHER & HOLY SPIRIT* so I decided we need to step it up and be strong. We need to pray even more and read more. We will do just that. I want to be ready and keep the adversry as far away from my home as possible.

Baby baby I will do whatever it takes for you, we have only found out two weeks ago and we already want you to be here. I want to fast forward and hold you. We love you and I can't wait to meet you. I know the Lord gave us the oppurtunity to get pregnant at the perfect time with the perfect baby.

I am feeling so much better today. I made it through this rough rough week and it's almost the weekend and who doesnt love that?
