NT Scan

Well I am not going to post any pictures because to be honest - there were no good pictures to post. What we have is barely discernible as to what is what so not worth it.

Baby is there - bigger - moving around - has the correct amount of fluid in the back of it's neck - i.e. less chance of downs. Heartbeat was good - the crown to rump length was a little over 2 inches - which is appropriate for its age. That's it - my bladder was bursting and she couldn't get a look at the nasal bone - she thought she was close but would loose the resolution when she got closer - its not that its not there - its just that she can't get a good look - esp. when the baby kept putting its hands up by its face. I think I coughed a million times to get the baby to move.

So we got to see it a little and see it moving but overall not the groovy ultrasound experience we were hoping for.

A lot of waiting for a so- so ultrasound and a pin prick of blood - so basically I stressed about 2 1/2 hours out of work for about 1/2 an hour worth of procedures. Ugh. But all is well. Results in 10 days. Dan feels better - I want a good ultrasound!
