Well Dan and I had our first trimester screening test yesterday. I had myself all built up for getting blood drawn. I know I am a total scardy cat. However all it was was a finger prick of blood. No sweat. Then they did a sonogram. While doing that they did lots of measurements. Measuring the thickness of the skin of the neck, they measured head to rump of the little one, etc. It was all very interesting. Dan was unable to make it however I did get a CD and will be torturing our families with it over Thanksgiving. heheh So we are thrilled that everything looked fine and normal. We will know for sure when we get the results of the bloodwork back next week sometime.
They also made an educated guess of what the gender of the baby is. We are taking it with a grain of salt and waiting until it is more official to share the news. The doctor wrote it down and put it in a sealed envelope. (My adorable hubby so did not trust me not to open it, he knows me well that it would have killed me with suspense) We did open it when he got home and that was super special to find out "an educated guess" together..
Also please find attached my 12 week belly picture.. We took it last night. I really am no longer able to suck it in. Oh well so happy Thanksgiving everyone and I for one am looking forward to all the food and family time!!
