We just got back from the latest ultrasound!!! It was a test to determine the risk for Down's Syndrome, Trisomy 13, and Trisomy 18. The good news is, on the ultrasound there is no indication of any risk (they measure the thickness of the neck), they also took blood tests from Colleen which will give more indication in about week when the results come back. However, they were not able to determine the sex at this time, so we'll have to wait to see if it will be a baby boy or baby girl.
Attached are two shots from the ultrasound. The picture on the left was hilarious, the baby was litterally doing the 'raise the roof' with both arms! The nurse, Colleen, and myself were cracking up. We said it had to be Colleen's baby because Colleen loves to dance! The picture on the right is a good profile, he/she is almost sucking their thumb in it!
It also had the hickups while we were watching. It was really cute to see the whole body have a hickup every few seconds. (the nurse said it is completely normal to have hickups at this stage).
That's the latest from here!
