Yes, another doctor's appointment - this one a little disappointing and frightening. My doctor is leaving for holiday for the next two weeks, and we were among the last patients (and the last to leave) so we really didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with him. I had printed out a list of questions and didn't even get to discuss it with him. I know he was ready to leave for vacation, but still. Anyhow, we got to see Stephanie again, but only in pieces since she is too big to get a full shot anymore. She is shaping up to be a small baby. Which is fine, I guess, but kinda concerns me. Dr. M noticed some calcification on my placenta as well, but didn't seem concerned and tried to convince me not to worry. Well, of course I'm concerned - my placenta is aging and baby girl is measuring a couple weeks behind (although you'd never guess that looking at me). He noticed that and offered to set up an appointment with a specialist so we can get a better look and make sure everything really is fine. We did the usual NST, and baby girl passed with flying colors, as always, so Dr. M says she is perfect. She may be small, but she's healthy. Well, I do believe she is healthy, but a second opinion never hurt. Meanwhile, I am trying to stay calm until we can get in to the specialist and get a better look.

I'll post an update after the specialist appointment.
