Level 2 Ultrasound

We decided to go to the perinatologist and that appointment was this morning.  Everything went well.  The tech took all the measurements again and said everything looks great.  She said that it is possible for a baby to have only one marker and still have Down's Syndrome, but it would be very unlikely that it would be this one.  The doctor said that based on my age and other factors, there is a .1% chance that our baby would have Down's Syndrome, and he said that number does not go up because of this spot on her heart.  So everything was extremely positive!  It was nice to be able to see her again!

Looks like she has Jay's cute round nose  :)

Baby Clothes!!

I saw a girl was selling a bunch of baby girl clothes on the Kearney Swap Shop page on Facebook.  So I picked out a bunch of stuff and bought it from her today for $125.  I just added it up, and if I bought this stuff new it would have been at least $375!

Some of it looks brand new, and some of it looks a little worn, but it's not too bad for stuff that going to be spit up and pooped on!

It's A Girl!

Jen pulled the ruby slippers out of a bag to reveal to her and our parents that it's a girl!!

Our Little GIRL!!

The ultrasound went really well.  She's measuring just a couple days ahead, but the doctor said he would keep my due date where it is.

The only concern was that there is a bright spot on her heart which can be a soft marker for Down's Syndrome.  However, the tech said it wasn't really a big deal, and that's basically what the doctor told us as well.  She has no other signs of having DS, and with only one marker, the chances are extremely slim.  

I did a little bit of research, and saw that there are lots and lots of babies who have this spot and turn out just fine. I actually didn't read about even one who had just this one marker and ended up with Down's Syndrome.  We are supposed to go for a level 2 ultrasound with a specialist, but we might opt out since we don't feel that it's a very big deal.

It was so cool getting to see her!  Toward the end, she started moving a lot and I could feel it while I was watching her.  That was awesome!  She even waved her little hand for us once  :)
