1st Trimester Ultrascreen Appt

Today we had a 1st Trimester ultrascreen appointment (combination of an ultrasound and blood work to screen for Down Syndrome and Trisomy 18 defects). This is a new procedure that our Doctor's Office offers through Vanderbilt's Womens Imaging Clinic (they weren't even offering it when Shanda was in her 1st Trimester). The heartbeat was at 164, which she said was perfect. Also, she said everything seemed normal based on her measurements of the neck. Now we are just waiting on the results of my blood work- they should be ready next week. I'm so glad Matt was able to come with me- it was so exciting! Our baby was so little and cute…it kept moving around! She said based on the measurements I am right at 12 weeks, which is what we had estimated.

Our baby's first picture- We love it!!!














Baby was so cute and little...it just kept jumping around! : )














It looks like the baby is sucking it's thumb in this picture...how sweet!
