Doctor's Visit

We had another doctor's visit this morning.

He listened with the Doppler and found the heartbeat. He said it can be hard to find 10 weeks, but it was there. It sounded like horses running. It was 171 beats a minute. It sounded good and strong to me but what do I know!

We were there for a check up and to see if we wanted to do the genetic testing for chromosomal abnormalities. We don't. He got us in this week to make sure we had time to order the tests if we wanted them done. We're going on faith here. God has looked out for us this far and we have faith that everything will be fine. In the end, Dr. Strong seemed supportive of the fact that we declined the testing. He didn't push or question our decision at all.

We go back in a month. He said at that visit he'll listen to the heartbeat again and the visit after that is when we'll find out the sex. (20 weeks) We signed our OB Contract today and found out the drive-out price on our little package. It's crazy, they won't see you again until you sign the contract. We have great insurance, so it wasn't a problem, but that would have put a spoiler on the visit if we didn't!

Roxie is still in denial of the fact that she'll no longer be an only child.
