Today is our first trimester screening where we are tested for our risk of the baby having Down’s Syndrome or Trisomy 18.  It is such a nerve-racking day.  The only upside is that we get yet another ultrasound when they will look for the nucheal translucency. Thank God Dr. Bailey already told us at our last appointment that he sees it and the measurement looks good.  That helps.  More bloodwork for me – Yippee!!  Please note my sarcasm….

This ultrasound photo was shocking! We can’t believe how much our baby now looks like, well….a BABY!  It’s only been 2 weeks since we saw the little Munchkin last.

The NT scan showed at 1.6 which is awesome.  The little bean is 7.4cm now.
