The End of Doctor Week
Well, it’s been Doctor Week around here… four appointments for various things all squished into three days.
The last appointment was at the Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinic in Medford (the biggest city around here) where they did some specialized Ultra-Screen tests for our baby, since I’m an “older” mom (meaning over 35).
Finally we got to see Peanut’s face, seen here in the ultrasound printout… a whole lot different than the small “bean” I saw a month ago!
We’re still not sure if it’s a boy or a girl, but bets are coming in on both sides.
It was quite an interesting experience though… besides the fact that we also saw the baby in 4-D (a picture is on the next page), we discovered that we have a larger-than-average baby — which wouldn’t be an issue except that it meant I couldn’t get the blood tests that were supposed to be part of the special screening.
