Dr. Levine Visit

Our appointment is OVER and I am all smiles! We got a good report! Everything with baby peanut looks great. We have no greater risk of a birth defect or other issue than anyone else. Basically, he can be 80% sure our baby is ok. We could bump that up to 88% if we wanted to do genetic testing, but we are not (as I have said before). Dr. Levine thought the baby looked good. It still measured slightly bigger and ahead of our 7/22 due date, but not enough to change it. Darn! Ha ha! I have definitely started gaining weight...bummer! But, that's OK! I'm totally fine with gaining weight for a healthy baby! As for the gender, we had to look away at one point, but then I'm pretty sure I saw something (either there or not there) on another view. But, I will keep that opinion to myself!! He did say something about the thickness of the neck, but said it could be because of the way the baby was laying - nothing to be concerned about. He said he'd make note of it in his report and Dr. Lo would follow-up. I'm actually not worried about it. And, finally, the placenta previa is gone! The ultrasound tech seemed shocked when I told her I had had it throughout the entire pregnancy. So, thank you all so much for your overwhelming support! Not sure what I'd do without all of you!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

As for now, we are stuck in Omaha - the blowing snow and roads are keeping us here. They have parts of I-80 and I-29 closed. I'm really hoping we can leave today, but if we can't, we can't. I certainly don't want to be in an accident after getting good news!

Again, thank you! Have a great day - I know I will!! Love ya, Kari
