HSA Maximum Contribution Going Up!

I just found out that the maximum Health Savings Account contribution is going up for 2012! As you avid readers will recall from a previous blog post, the 2011 family maximum was $6150. The new maximum family contribution for 2012 is $6250. Not a huge increase, but an increase none the less. In these tough economic times, $100 is nothing to sneeze at. Hurray, for $100 more tax free money to save for my family's medical expenses!

3rd Sonogram

The time had come. Third and hopefully final sonogram. Would the heart be okay? Would we get to find out the sex of  the baby? The cost... $200 for another detailed sonogram. The heart looked much bigger, and it had only been four weeks since the last one! The tech was able to zoom in and give us a great view of the heart. All four chambers were pumping strongly and nothing looked out of place. I was greatly relieved! There was still a very small slightly less bright area on the heart muscle. However, there was no abnormality that we could see and since it was less noticeable, we were encouraged. Neither the technician or our doctor seemed alarmed and sent us on our merry way, after the scan was complete. We did get to find out the sex of the baby too! I am happy to announce that we are expecting a baby girl in November!
