Another uneventful visit

Yesterday I had my monthly visit to the perinatologist. I dread it for about a week before the actual visit. I'm always afraid they will have some new, bad news to tell me. Thankfully yesterdays visit was uneventful. The ultrasound tech did her exam and said everything looked normal to her. To us, he looked HUGE compared to the last visit just a month ago. A month ago you could still see his whole body in one screen. This time it seemed like just his head took up the entire picture. Last month he was measuring about 2lbs 6oz and this month he measured 3lbs 14oz. That sounds huge with almost 2 months to go, but they said it was average.  After the initial exam the doctor comes in and quickly scans through the images she shot. He said he didn't see anything unusual and asked if we had any questions for him. Total time spent with us......3 minutes. Total bill $2000. Thank God for insurance. And why didn't I become a doctor????  We have 1 more visit scheduled for the end of this month. After that, Kaden should be arriving. I will be so happy to have these stressful visits done with. Of course then we will begin our monthly visits with surgeons which I'm sure will be a new kind of stress. At least he will be here and we will know he's healthy :)
