Ultrasound Scheduled!

I had a Dr.'s appt. yesterday and my ultrasound is scheduled for July 9th! I am SO ANXIOUS to find out what this baby is so I'm trying not to think about the waiting.
My Doc had his PA come in first to try and find the heartbeat, which she could not find it. Then he came in and could not find it. At my last appt. at 12 weeks they couldn't find it either so they did an ultrasound. Everything was fine that time so I thought for sure they could find it at 16 weeks!
He used another Doppler and finally found it. Wow, I was trying not to let all sorts of scenerios go through my head! It was very quiet and faint but we did hear it!

Funny story..He asked me if I was doing any traveling and I told him that we were going to Detroit for 4th of July. He asked where and told me he used to live there for 15 years! He worked at Hutzel hospital which is where I was born, and he worked with the doctor that delivered me and all my siblings! It was before his time but he interned with Dr. Isaacs and then worked with him.
Small world!

I have to start an insulin pill twice a day. I didn't have to do insulin with Eliza until 26 weeks so this is way earlier. This pill has just recently been approved for use in pregnancy. We are hoping I can take this for a while and postpone the shots for as long as possible. I thought I was doing pretty well with my sugars but they have been creeping up on me. It was kind of disappointing that I have to start this early!

This is going to be a LOOONG pregnancy!
