Sonogram Appointment #2

Hello All,

I hope all is well with everyone, here is my latest update: I went to the doctor this afternoon for a standard sonogram and unfortunately, several bad things happened.

First, Blaze's Chief told us that he would be able to go to my sonogram appointment, and had been telling us that for about a month now. This morning, he changed his mind and again, I went to my appointment alone. In retrospect of the appointment, I'm kind of glad he wasn't able to go. Let me just say THE BABY IS FINE, before anyone freaks out. It's me that's the problem.

I went at 6 weeks for a sonogram because of some bleeding, so they went ahead and did my pap, I got a call a couple weeks later about a bacterial infection they found and got treated for it. What they failed to mention is that the results came back for cancerous cells on my cervix. The way I found this information out is because I had some depression that I wanted to discuss with Major Morgan (my OB/GYN) and she asked if it was because my pap results. I told her no, because it was just a bacterial infection and there was no reason to be upset. She then looked at me, totally shocked, and said "so...you don't know about the actual pap coming back bad?". I said no, and had to fight back tears, because, as we all know, a pap tests for cancerous cells. So she broke the news to me then we continued with our appointment. Let me just say, it really took the wind out of my sails and made it really difficult to enjoy the sonogram.

That being said, when she did the sonogram the baby was kicking it's feet around and waving frantically, occasionally throwing a backflip or two. :) Then, as if he knew he was being watched....he just stopped and it looked like he was sucking his thumb. It was cute. :) I'll include the sonogram pictures at the bottom, they did the sonogram externally therefore he looks a lot smaller than he is. According to the measurements, he's 4.41cm long. :)

Blaze and I are good, we just got home from taking a long walk around the neighborhood. I really enjoyed it, as did he; we're making that part of our daily routine to get out of the house, get some exercise, and just enjoy each other.

He had kinda had a bad day too...Chief wouldn't let him go to my appointment, which really bothered him, he was told at 1700 that he had a Class A and TA-50 inspection at 1900, and he spilled our dinner all over the truck. The first of the three is pretty self explanatory. Blaze was completely ready for his Class A and TA-50 inspection, (he looked so handsome in his uniform!) and we were on our way to the battery when we got a call from Blaze's Chief saying the inspection was cancelled. About that time we were stopped for a random vehicle search at the post gate. So there we were, Blaze in his Class A's, me in some house shorts and t shirt standing outside the truck just waiting while everyone drove by, pointed and laughed. After that, I was pretty upset about the doctor and didn't want to cook, Blaze didn't either, so we settled for McDonald's....Blaze picked up the bag and apparently they had it sitting in water or something and french fries went flying. Good times. Anyway, sorry for rambling, I'll put pictures in now. :) Love you all, just keep us in your prayers, we need it. :) .
