[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2280353, member: 401801"] I won't have the results until tomorrow afternoon, as the lady only does the scanning, not the evaluation of the ultrasounds. I am dead curious though. Which should help when it comes to having to make a phone call for the results and to see what's next..! As for the rest of your very, very detailed post.... Oh my.
