My cutie patootie!!!

Photobucket

The ultrasound went well today. The bambino was not very cooperative though. He would move when she needed him to be still, and be still when she needed him to move. At one point he turned and was looking up at us, almost like he knew we were there. They were measuring the fluid at his neck and anything less than 2.5 was considered normal. The best they could measure was 1.0 and we were happy with that. The genetic counselor will call with the blood test results in a week for the Down's and Trisomy testing. We are not really worried about any of it though.

I return on April 6th for another 4D ultrasound. This one will be an organ check and make sure that the little guy has everything where it is supposed to be. We will also get to find out if it is a boy bambino or a girl bambino!! That is what I am really excited about! It seems soooooo far away though! But I will survive. I suppose!

I have had several u/s in my OB's office and have been able to see the baby with arms and legs moving around. This was the first time that hubby has gotten to see more than a blog though and he was delighted! We also got to hear the heartbeat for the first time as well. Just an amazing experience!
