Its the 12th week , which means we are all on track with no issues (yet anyway).
Had Nuchal -transluency screening test on Monday and results for down syndrome we got were very low which was a relief. Tests for trisomy 13 and 18 we not so good, but still considered low. Had a chat to OB today who seemed not overly worrried, but made sure we understd that there are no guarantees the baby will be perfect..but emphasied the risk factor as "low".
We already knew, either way, since it took 3 yrs to get to this point...any further tests at this early stage may harm Bubs...so ....we have opted to cross our fingers and let the journey start for our little one, which we will love no matter what.
The scan showed a current size of around 5 cm - little Bub was not behaving well during scan..as Bub was tooooo interested at staring at the ultrasound device facing towards us with hands extended on both sides...quite adorable...a couple of prods to try get Bub to lie on its side for pic's proved to be futile..so Mum had to go out for a caffeine fix and sweet chocolate croissants to wake Bub up....Mum returned back to Ultrasound clinic..and Bub was well behaved and posed for some nice side shots to measure Nuchal fold.....love you Bub ..you did well!!! Pops unfortunately didnt get to see Bub move ..but he can share in the moment at 19 weeks....wowza...... may even get a DVD made...hoohah..Hollywood here we come...never too early for Hollywood babies?
Will start taking mthly side profiles of exterior soon ....need to get decent outfit to show off belly bulge. Perhaps off to shops tomorrow...love stretchy lycra gear at the moment..loveeee it.
Till next time.
XOXO
