13 Week Appointment with Specialist

Well I am happy to report that both I and the baby are doing extremely well! I saw a different ultrasound tech today, she was just as nice as my other lady. We couldn't tell the sex yet, but she said hopefully by my next visit in 2 weeks. I'm so excited! Although, I have to go to Piedmont Hospital, even further in Atlanta for that one. One week out of each month my doc goes to other hospitals to cover other doctor's vacations. He gave me the choice of seeing someone else at the Northside office, but I like him and I just want to be seen by him. It's not too much further than Northside, and not as much traffic, so I guess that's ok. I asked him if he delivered babies, but he said not anymore. The ultrasound tech laughed and said that A LOT of people were not happy when he stopped delivering.

I was trying to decide between Cartersville, Kennestone and Northside. I'm pretty much going to rule Kennestone out since I don't see anyone there. I would rather my family have to drive to Cartersville, rather than Atlanta, and now that I know Dr. Korotkin doesn't deliver I'm going to rule Northside out too. So I guess Cartersville it is. I do remember the last time I was there that the Labor & Delivery ward was really nice. And the room I was in initially before being transferred to Chattanooga was huge and nicely decorated. Besides, you don't have to pay for parking, ha ha ha! I'm sorry, it might just be me, but paying to park at a hospital is RIDICULOUS!

Oh, and my odds for Down's Syndrome is 1 in 10,000 and doc said those were excellent numbers and I shouldn't have anything to worry about. :o)
