Update # 14,693

I feel like all I ever do on here is put updates about the pregnancy and Mallorie, but this is much better than posting a novel on Facebook.

So, here it goes again. Went to the doctor this morning. It was a jam packed day. I had to wake up at 7:10 a.m. to take the glucose test drink. And, holy crap, that stuff is NASTY!!! My doctor told me that it tasted like HiC. ew ew nasty gross!!!  But, I was able to keep most of it down. Threw up just a tiny bit at the end. So, we show up at the doctor's office at 7:59 this morning for our 8 a.m. ultrasound (I have to get ultrasounds every 2 weeks because of my hypertension. My doctor is worried that Mallorie might not be getting enough blood).
So, ultrasound ended at 8:22, and it is a girl. LOL! Every time we're in, I ask them to double check. I am so worried that last minute she's going to change her mind and BAMMM...IT'S A BOY!!!! But, no...definitely girly parts being grown!
So, right after our ultrasound we seriously rush back to the lab to do the blood work for the glucose test. And, while we were in there I told her that I needed to get my liver tested again as well, so we did it all in one shot! lol.
Then...off to the doctor we went! 
And, I definitely had some questions for her.
I needed to discuss HELLP syndrome with her. Because after researching it for a week, my symptoms point there!!! And, I needed to ask her about getting on steroids. I'm so terribly worried about this baby coming early, that I don't feel that she'll be ready to come when she thinks she's ready to come. But, my doctor assured me that the second I need steroids, I'll get them! :)
As for HELLP syndrome, she told me that that is the reason she sent me over to the UofU hospital a few weeks ago. Actually, I think it's been about a month now. She said that even though UofU didn't find anything, she's not ruling it out yet.
She also ordered a liver ultrasound. She called me last week and told me that my liver enzymes had spiked again so I couldn't take Tylenol for a week and then we were going to see how my liver enzymes looked after a week of no Tylenol.
Then, she also ordered for us to have a monitor put on my stomach to monitor the baby for 20 minutes.
Then...WE FINALLY WERE ABLE TO LEAVE!!! We left our doctor's office around 10:15 a.m. We were both exhausted, but we had this liver ultrasound that we had to go do at 1:30 p.m. at a different Medical Center. And, for that I couldn't eat, which worked out since I hadn't eaten breakfast because of the glucose test anyways.
So, after a quick nap, we were off to another doctor!!! lol
We got the liver ultrasound, and found out that I have gall stones. blah! But, the ultrasound technician that did the ultrasound for us said that, to her, she didn't see anything of concern. Even the gall stones shouldn't be what is causing the problems with my liver.
So...for now...and what seems like forever...we wait some more!!!
Thanks again for all of the prayers and uplifting thoughts! :)
