12 Weeks

NT scan week! I had an appointment on Monday Feb 21st for the Nuchal Translucency scan which checks for chromosomal abnormalities in the baby. My OB doesn’t do them here, so he sent us to San Antonio to get it done. Danny and I were SO impressed with this office and the staff. We got to talk to a genetic counselor and went over our family history, which eased our worries a LOT. Then we went in for the scan and all of the measurements that they look for were within a very normal range! It was amazing to see our baby kicking, playing and moving around :) Danny was in awe! After the scan was a blood test (I’m a pro now guys, don’t you worry!) and the Dr. told us he would call us with the results but that based on what he has so far, we are very low risk. So YAY!
