So we had our appointment down at University of Utah Hospital a few weeks ago. It is SUCH an amazing hospital and excellent staff. ( Including free valet Parking!) Anyways, during the ultrasound the tech re measured everything and it was completely normal. She thinks it was partially a technique error on the previous ultrasound tech making the Cisterna Magna larger that it really was. THAT was a relief! We met with the specialist and she said everything with the little guy was perfect and healthy. She felt bad that we had to drive down there. I was kinda irritated also, but hey at least we know for sure now right? A bonus was we did get to see our little guy again and know for sure it is a BOY. We got a good picture this time haha. We spent some time shopping in Salt lake, and also got to stay with my brother Curtis and got to spend some time with him which was nice.
We haven't officially decided on a baby name yet, but were almost positive it will be Madden. I really love this name, but Nick kinda wants to see him before we officially name him that.
He has been moving around and kicking like crazy. I absolutely love it, it reassures me that everything is going good and he is healthy. Nick actually got to feel it for the first time 2 weeks ago. He's adorable. I haven't been getting much sleep lately ( partly because I can't lay on my stomach anymore and that drives me CRAZY) but I'm staying up later. If I push on my belly, Madden pushes back. I just love the feeling. So I don't sleep haha.
It was really funny the other morning. For those of you who know Nick, he loves to pick on me. That's his way of showing me his love haha. Well the other morning I was able to sleep in an extra hour or so ( which is huge when you have to be at school by 7:30 Monday through Friday) and I had to go pee so so bad. I didn't quite want to get up yet so I was trying to ignore the urges. Well Madden had different plans and he was kicking my bladder and I was complaining to Nick about it. So Nick starts poking my bladder and laughs. He said I am getting a double dose, Madden can pick on me from the inside and he gets to pick on me from the outside. He's a butthead.
School has been going OK, I'm going crazy trying to find a mock board patient ( it's the practice patient before the actual board patient). Well none of my current patient's qualify for it because they don't have enough deposit ( tarter) to clean off. If I don't have a patient by next Friday, I get a -5 % off my grade. Soooo, if you guys know of anyone who hasn't had their teeth cleaned in like 6+ years, send them my way! (seriously lol)
Originally I was planning on taking my National Written Boards (which is an 8 hour test over everything I have learned in my 4 years of college, focusing on dental hygiene) over Spring break, however I was pretty sick over Christmas break and have been so super tired lately, I haven't studied as much as I would have liked, and don't feel completely ready. So I'm gonna take them May 8th. So pretty much this spring break is consisting of studying, cleaning, studying, sleeping, studying, and well maybe some more studying. BOOOOO!
Here are some updated baby pictures!
