Yesterday I had an appointment for what they call a combined screening, which means that they do an ultrasound and take your blood to test for any birth defects or chromosomal disorders your baby might have. Everything with the baby looks great, so we're just waiting to hear back about the blood test, and we should hear back in about a week. So... here's the first picture of our new addition! I did get to see the baby on my first doctor visit last month, but they weren't able to give me a copy of our little "gummy bear"(that's totally what the baby looks like the first time you see them) because they used a hand-held ultrasound device which didn't print pictures. But now our baby really looks like a baby...YAY!
Anyway, I'm excited that we finally have some pictures of our baby! I also got a copy of the whole ultrasound on DVD and it's about 15 minutes long! They were obviously very thorough with the exam, but I'm not complaining because it's great to have so much footage! With Angie we only got a 2 second clip of her moving, so this is a treat! John wasn't able to go to the appointment with me because of work, so he was of course excited that there was so much to watch! It's fun to see John be just as excited with this baby as he was with Angie! Now we can hardly wait to find out if it's a boy or girl! We'll see!
What do you think we're having?
