Well, after not sleeping but an hour or two last night I received a phone call at a little after 8 and it was my Drs office. The ultrasound tech for the office had a family emergency and will be out at least until Friday so my ultrasound has been Cancelled. I was already an emotional wreck, but now I'm even worse!! It's not the end of the world and I still have to go to my appointment at 11, but I'm just so sad right now. It won't be until next week at least until I'm rescheduled...booo hoooo :(

I'm sorry Kerri....After having to wait all weekend...and now another week  :-( 
Hang in there...think of it this way, maybe the baby wasn't ready for you to see them and this was supposed to happen. Sorry, that's all I could think of.  :-)

Good luck, hope you find something to keep your mind occupied in the meantime....

U/S always got me nervous...my nerves are horrible when I am pregnant.  I know it took several u/s to get the gender of my baby- I finally paid for a private 3D one to get the scoop..but I would say take a pole or make a game of some sort- to help pass the time.  Good- luck I hope maybe the u/s tech comes back early, the Dr takes a peek or something..if not in the scope of things a week isn't to long (right?!)  Toes and fingers crossed your appointment goes well.

Thanks girls!! Well, I have come to terms with not having my ultrasound today and I'm over it for now LOL I finally got a hbpm told to me and got all kinds of good info at the appointment. My genetics marker test came back with no markers found. My bloodwork was good- total A1c came back 73- which was also excellent. My bp was only 120/70, which was another good point. I dropped back down to 193, so my weight gain sits at 8lbs at 20 weeks. The nurse practicioner was who I saw today and she was very helpful in making me feel more at ease. She also told me that if I had gone to the hospital to have the scan done I wouldn't have gotten any pictures and they wouldn't have told me the sex.

So, anatomy scan is scheduled for next Monday now at 3:20pm :)

And baby is healthy and thriving and momma is doing excellent too, so I couldn't be happier...the devestation was temporary and I just have my fingers crossed for better results next week :)

Great news about you and baby always make difficult hardships / even temporary let downs feel better.  I can remember plenty of bad days I was having while pregnant- found out my DH had an addiction issue- he went to rehab- I was alone with 3 kids and on on the way...but hearing how healthy baby and I was always made me happy.  Good luck- I'll be waiting to hear your results early next week.
