Today was a big day for us. We had our appointment at the Center for Medical Genetics for our first trimester screening. This test involved an ultrasound where they looked at the babies neck and nasal bone looking for characteristics of Down's syndrome as well as blood work that screened for Trisomies 18 & 21 as well as cystic fibrosis. The ultrasound part was pretty fun because it was long and thorough. We got to see Tic Tac bouncing up and down with hiccups and even trying to put a fist in his mouth. The baby is starting to take shape & is 6.58 cm long.
We met with the genetic counselor after the ultrasound, and she told us that the baby looked really good. It would be a week before we were able to get the results of the blood work back though.
They also offered us a free Jack or Jill gender determination test, so of course we took it. We'll know in a week the sex of our child, hopefully. :)
