It all seems totally normal to me. (And about seeing the baby correctly: I had a pic from one of my scans-at 8 wks- where I told everyone that the head was the rump and vice versa, until my husband corrected me.)<BR/>As for follow-up scans- they are totally normal at the RE's office. My RE fianlly cut me off from weekly scans at 10 wks- I don't I'm still not sure if his "generosity" is a blessing or a curse as I got pretty addicted to them.<BR/>In any case: best of luck, and I'll be back to check on you<BR/>11ms. chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369055212101853503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8731166828559832210.post-22478524342491969072007-08-25T10:06:00.000-05:002007-08-25T10:06:00.000-05:00Just wanted to drop in and let you know I'm thinki...Just wanted to drop in and let you know I'm thinking of you.
