I am one of those Thursday appointments for February! 3.5 hour drive, hope there is no bad weather. Other thing to remember is you have to fast before the ultrasound. If you are traveling from out of state, that my affect the appointment time you prefer. I may have made a mistake obtaining a noon appointment. That means no eating for at least 12 hours (Cutoff is midnight. I am not supposed to eat at least a few hours before going to bed so yikes!).
