We had our round of Doctors' Visit today!
We first visited Dr. Albert Chen and here's the summary:
- The Baby's heartbeat is very strong! (Dr. Chen applied the Doppler again.)
- The Baby seems to be moving quite a bit because the Doppler couldn't catch the heartbeat from a single position.
- All the blood tests, and urine tests, came back as normal.
- Weight gain is progressing normally.
- The Baby does not have any birth defects.
- All the arms and legs are there.
- All the internal organs are there.
- The size of the brains, skulls, and arms are normal. But the legs are a tick short, but nothing to be concern of.
- Per our request, the Doctor told us to look aside when he was scanning the genital area... just in case "something pops up!"
- The Doctor also drew blood for the 2nd Trimester Down Syndrome test. We'll find out the results in about 1 week. (The doctor said if the result is good, he won't even bother calling me.)
- The Doctor also scheduled us to return for another scan in a month's time. He wants to take a look at the Ultrasound of the heart. Right now the heart is too small that he can't really tell if it is in good condition.

Anthony,
You are a great dad! Got everything up so professionally. I could only dream about doing all this when our babies were born, and I was not all that tech-savvy.
Wonderful to hear Piggy is doing great and growing well. We've been through it too, and what a feeling to see the baby in the womb w/ ultrasound.
