I went with C last Wednesday to her doctor's appointment (first OB appointment in Greenville). Turns out it was an intake appointment with the nurse, she took vital signs and they did lab work including a glucose tolerance test, but no ultrasound. Apparently Medicaid does not pay for a new OB appointment and an ultrasound on the same day. Plus the ultrasound machines and techs were in another building. So, no news yet about the gender. They scheduled her for September 10th for an ultrasound and Walter and I are both planning to go. It will be nice to have him come this time. Those 3 hours driving there and then back get lonely! As far as we know all the lab work was fine.

After C's appointment, I took her out to Ruby Tuesdays for a late lunch/early dinner and then we went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things. She still doesn't have cable and since you have to have a converter box now to pick up antenna channels, she's a little bored shall we say! We got another dvd tv series and I had brought her a puzzle book to help keep her busy. We hung up some pictures in her apartment to make it a little cozier.

This time was definitely less awkward, C was quiet at first but after her appointment and drinking that sugary drink (for her test) she was very talkative! It was nice to have some "bonding" time and we planned to go get nails done, but we ran out of time.

We are still nervous and excited and at times feel like we are dreaming but continuing to pray for C and the baby's health.
