OB appt & ultrasound

Monday I had an OB appt & an ultrasound! I was sooooo excited thinking that we may be able to see the gender of the baby giving that I am 17 weeks, and Baby BGC is measuring about a week ahead. The baby was so cute...S/he waved at us. It was precious! The baby still measured about a week ahead. Baby BCG weighed about 8 oz. We listened the the heartbeat. Baby BCG's heart was beating at 146 bpm. The tech was not the nicest. =( She wanted NOTHING to do with giving us a quick peek.

After my ultrasound I saw the Dr. I lost 1.5 lbs and my bp was 110/62. Urine was "better" this week. The Dr. came in my room and chatted with me about what was going on. He said to stick with the regimen we are going with now. He seemed very doubtful that I will feel somewhat normal through this pregnancy. =( I will see the Dr. in 4 weeks.

Diya's & Kamdyn's appts today

Diya spiked a fever of 102 last night. So she stayed home from school today. I took her to see her pediatrician. Her BP was 117/68. Her temp was normal. Her lungs were good. Her lymph nodes were swollen...especially the ones by her ears. She had a lot of fluid in her left ear. Her right ear was ok. So she was working on getting an ear infection. BLAH! She was put on zithromax.

After her appt we went to Meijer to do some gluten free shopping. I spent $100 on gluten free stuff. It's super expensive! I got her stuff to make cupcakes & brownies. She is excited about that!

Kamdyn had her first orthodontist appt today. She got measurements, photos, and xrays today. We will go back in 3 weeks then back a few days later...then she will get her braces. She was very nervous today. The orthodontist's office is fun! It's very upbeat. They even have an ice cream machine for the kids! Kamdyn enjoyed the ice cream after her appt.

We had a busy day!

Diya's test results...

I got Diya's test results back today. She tested positive for Celiac Disease. She has to go completely wheat/gluten free, and this is a life long disease according to her pediatrician.

I will update with the rest of her results when I have the paper in front of me. For now I can say that she tested + to celiacs, and she tested + allergic to a few foods.

Right now wheat is our biggest challenge.
