Looking Good

Hannah and I met with my doctor today for a check up. We got to listen to the heart beat which Hannah says sounds like a choo choo train. Heart rate was 163 bpm. She also said there were three movements noted in thirty seconds which is good. I knew I was feeling him! The appointment was fairly brief. Weight check and blood draw were also done. I see the doctor again in a month. She also decided to have me cancel my next ultrasound at their office and we rescheduled it with a super high tech facility that looks specifically for birth defects. She said they have an extra fancy machine and that a doctor performs the scan instead of a tech. When I called the facility to set it up they said the ultrasound lasts 45 minutes. Wow that is a long time. She just wants to be extra cautious they don't miss the cleft. Not like it matters. All I'd do different is dust off the old Habermans and start saving for surgery costs. But like I remind the parents I work with regularly, we all have deficits somewhere, some are physical, some intellectual, some mental and we learn to make the best out of what we are dealt. Differences are what make us all unique, but I am excited to see what they find. That appointment is in two weeks. Hopefully they can also confirm the gender at that time. WIth 45 minutes I'm assuming they will get at least one good look.
