A Wave Hello
I got to see our little today and it waved hello to me. It already has manners : )
I actually wasn't supposed to have an ultra sound today, as I was meeting with a genetic counselor to discuss whether to do the amnio. She said my nuchal scan results were excellent and gave me a lot of information on the difference between the nuchal and amnio. After our meeting I figured since I'm already there, why not see if I could squeeze myself in for a little peek at our little. They are so nice there and got me in for an ultra sound. Perfect heartbeat and measurements, as I am now in the middle of my 13th week! I saw the spine and it's gotten so big! I am so proud of it!
The doctor then came in she said it was beautiful : ) We then spoke about the amnio and my fear of miscarriage. So she recommended that my next step be the 15 week quad blood test and 16 week anatomy scan which when combined with the nuchal screening will give them a really good picture of this baby's health. She said if all this looks normal, she doesn't think I need to do the amnio. I mean my nuchal screening results gave me a risk of 1 in 6,000 for Downs and 1 in 10,000 for the trisomy tests-- all of which are excellent. So I am happy with these next steps. I'd rather avoid the amnio if everything is looking normal.
So that's it. I am turning 35 on Oct. 15th.
I hope this year will be filled joy, health, love, and most of all-- motherhood.
. Please G-d keep our baby growing healthy and strong.

Oh I am so thrilled that everything is going so well for you! I know, thugh, those tests scare me to death too. When do they start doing them? I'm terrified to have them done but even more scared not to do them!
Happy almost birthday,your b-day is close to my son. He'll be 16 on Oct. 14. I'll be 36 on Nov. 25 so we're close in age too!
Good luck and congrat's on such great results!
