Today we had our 12th week prenatal visit, where we had an ultrasound done, along with checking the results of the blood work I did last week, to find the results of the first trimester Down Syndrome screening. Of course, I've been worrying about this for the past three weeks, like I worry about everything else, but I had a feeling that everything was going to be fine. The ultrasound went well, and we were able to see the baby up close and even see its facial profile and it was moving around so much. The doctor came in after the ultrasound with a smile on his face and said he has never seen better test results, they are so good that I have a 99.9% chance of having a healthy baby!! He saw nothing wrong with the ultrasound and said it is a strong baby with a heartbeat of 171 beats per minute. I can't tell you how relieved we were to get such wonderful results. We were both feeling sick to our stomach waiting for the doctor to come in and I told Phil, "Welcome to parenthood".
And...as promised..here are ultrasound pics of our sweet pea!
