On April 21 I had a check-in with the doc. First I had to stop in at Maternal Fetal Medicine to get the 2nd blood draw for the down syndrome testing. I ran into BTT friends Rachel and Jeff Aronis there, which was no surprise- they are pregnant with twins and are nearing d-day (due date), so they're frequent visitors at Newton Wellesley right now! After that appointment I went upstairs to the OB office, where I did the usual weigh-in, pee check, and blood pressure check before seeing the doc. Dan stayed at work for this appointment, which was good- 1 hour of waiting for a 5 minute appointment. The doc did check the baby's heart rate using a hand held doppler thing though, which was fun to hear.
So, our big 18 week anatomy scan ultrasound is scheduled for May 12, and I can't wait! We've decided to find out the gender. Both Dan and I have a feeling that it's a boy, and everyone who has expressed their opinion has said the same thing. So, we'll find out soon enough!
Oh, and I got a call yesterday from Maternal Fetal Services with good news on the down syndrome front. Baby H has only a 1 in 50,000 chance in having DS.... which is great!
