This morning we went in for the 20 week anatomy scan. All is well. My blood pressue was 112/62. That was a pleasant surprise because while I hadn't been nervous at all the last couple of days, last night I had a horrible dream and then I didn't feel the baby move when I woke up and I almost always feel him first thing in the morning and before bedtime. So, let's just say I was feeling a bit anxious in the waiting room. Fortunately, the worry was for nothing as the doctor said "everything looked wonderful" and she was glad that I'd finally gained a few more pounds (which I found funny because I feel enormous for 20 weeks!) The baby was actually measuring a few days ahead and is currently 75 percentile (about 14 ounces), so the doc said it was no wonder I was feeling like my belly was suddenly a lot bigger. Next appt in 4 weeks is just a regular appt, but 2 weeks after that I get my glucose loading test and they'll do another weight estimation for the baby.
Like his big sister, the Bumblebee wasn't cooperating so well this morning. The tech couldn't get a very good shot of his face, but after some effort she did finally get a pretty good profile shot. We're looking forward to having something to show the Ladybug tonight that actually looks like a baby!

Glad all is well. :)
(you are quite correct, BTW, my insurance, for IVF anyway, is rockin'... for everything else, it sucks. That $40 copay? is for any specialist, which is pretty much any doc I see... my neurologist, etc. The $50 copay for drugs? That's basically all my drugs, and I take 9 different drugs not including the infertility meds, almost none of them generic - my generics still cost me $20 each... the premiums also suck majorly... I gave up really GOOD insurance in order to get the IVF coverage through my employer... fortunately the rest of the family still has the GOOD insurance)
Glad things keep on looking good. I can't believe you're halfway there!!
yay, glad everything is okay!
Half way home, darlin! So excited that all is well
glad things are still okay
