Perinatal U/S Results!

So I got the call from our genetic counsoler regarding our perinatal U/S appointment that I had last week.

The results were fantastic!

For Down Syndrome, before the screening, we were given a 1 in 630 chance that our baby would be born with down syndrom, now after the screening the risk has been lowered to 1 in 5,600.

For Trisomy-18 and Trisomy-21, before the screening, we were given a 1 in 3,000 chance chance that our baby would be born with Trisomy18 or 21, now after the screening the risk has been lowered to 1 in 10,000 chance.

So that is great news just thought I would share! YEAH!

Our FIRST Baby Pictures!!!

So I had my 2nd ultrasound today. Got to SEE the baby finally, since last time it was like the size of a bean or something..it just looked like a blurry spot...NOW it actually looks like a baby. WE have 2 arms and 2 legs...as well as 10 fingers and 10 toes....can you believe you can see that already. I mean the baby is only 2.5 inches long right now. I also got to HEAR the heartbeat again.....searching took little effort...It was a nice 155 beats per minute...I know fast huh? Well they say thats perfectly healthy so I am not worried. AND I got to take home pictures!!!! 11 to be exact.

Here are a few of my favorites.

our baby has cute feet with cute little toes

...and 5 fingers...in this pic the baby is resting its head on its hand...it was pretty cute!

Well, hope to post more soon! Hope all is well with you!

Baby Bump 10-Weeks

Latest Dr. Appt.

OKAY! so the doctor changed my due date. It is now June 26th! (I know only 2 days sooner) Anyway she says that is the official due date and they won't change it again. Also, I got to hear the baby's heartbeat. It took her a long time to find it though. I was begining to worry that there was no baby in there! She was like its okay, I am patient! Then finally I heard it. A nice healthy fast woosh woosh kinda sound. I was a little bummed Jimmy wasn't able to make it to hear it too. Well, next time! So I go in for another ultrasound next Monday, Dec. 15th...likely still way too early to see if its a boy or girl so we will all have to just keep on waiting! Love to you all! XOXO
