4th Prenatal Appointment

(Posted by Robin - for once!)
We had our Prenatal Appointment and everything is still going very well. It took her a couple of seconds to find the heartbeat and that freaked us out, but it was there eventually. The heartrate this time was 144. The baby must have been relaxing since it wasn't in its normal 150s range. The doctor asked if we had received our letter saying everything with the ultrasound was normal and that our due date was staying the same. We hadn't -- I had just assumed no news was good news. Well, the very next day (8/24) the letter arrived, even though it had been postmarked 8/14. And interestingly, it had already been opened and then taped shut again. It must have gotten lost in the office or something. Anyway, the letter said it confirmed the due date was 12/28. All along we had thought it was 12/27, so I'm not sure what it is, obviously a day doesn't make any sort of difference, just seems like I should be aware of my official due date.

We also asked (with pleading eyes) about the possibility of getting another ultrasound since they were only 70% sure on the gender. Our doctor thought 70% was a good percentage. She said she couldn't recommend another ultrasound at this point, so it wouldn't be covered by insurance if we did have one. We were bummed out.
