Here are the highlights from our appointment yesterday:
- The ultrasound was wonderful. Matt and I have been feeling worried because my belly is still so small and I have not been gaining much weight, so we were happy to find out that Speck is growing well. Based on all of the measurements he/she actually measured about 6 days ahead of where our dates are. This isn't the most accurate of measures, but it made us feel better. Speck weighs an estimated 10 ounces which according to online is closer to 20 weeks gestation. Let's hope this is not going to be a big baby... And the doctor assured us that I will gain the weight and my stomach will pop out.
- All of the anatomy that the technician was able to see was normal.
- The ultrasound tech checked out the gender parts, but turned the screen, so we did not see. And, there were no accidental sightings by us either. There is no record of gender in our ultrasound report so our doctor cannot accidentally slip up.
- H1N1 vaccine - check.
- Quad screen (screening test for chromosomal/neural tube abnormalities) - pending.
- Everything was fine with me except my hemoglobin dropped a bit so more green leafy veggies and steak for me.
- After doing some insurance research we talked to the office yesterday and our bill was corrected - our insurance pays 100% and we have to pay nothing towards our deductible! We should be in the same situation in March even though we are changing our plan. That was nice news.
- I have more pictures to post soon.
- Next appointment - November 30
Probably more than anyone needed to know, but there it is!
