It's a boy

I had another routine prenatal checkup this morning. As always, everything's fine. Blood pressure is normal, baby's heartbeat is fine, my rash is minimal. My blood work from last time was fine, my blood sugar is normal, so no gestational diabetes. No need for the long test this time. Yeah!

I found out today from the doctor that since the second ultrasound wasn't covered by my insurance, that it's being discounted from $215 down to $75 and I can make arrangements to pay it off over time if need be. That's one thing off my mind.

But the big news:
It's a boy!
I asked the doctor about the possibility of finding out the gender of the kiddo and my wish was granted. Since we were already in the exam room with the ultrasound in it, I got to lie down again and he did a quick scan. The baby's head is down already, and it's a boy. I am out-numbered 3:1.
