Baby #3
Eric, Olivia, Jack and I went for my Nuchal Translucency Ultrasound a couple of weeks ago. It's a fairly new ultrasound they do between 11-13 weeks pregnant to view the fluid behind the brain stem to check for any abnormalities such as Spinal Bifida or Downs Syndrome. With the blood work and the NT scan the false positive rate decreases dramatically. Anyway, we decided to go ahead and opt for the test, not because we wanted to be sure that all was ok with the baby, but really because we love to see our little one in the womb. No matter what the test would show, we would still have our baby...for that, we are 100% sure! But, alas, the test came back completely normal. We still have one more blood test on July 7th to be 100% sure, but so far everything looks A-Ok with our little peanut. So that is a bonus to know that! Here are some pictures of the Ultrasound pictures that were taken a couple of weeks ago. Any guesses on if this one is a boy or a girl? At first I was leaning towards boy because the profile looks a lot like Jack's ultrasound pictures, but now I am feeling girl! Either way we are so excited! I am going to be getting the best birthday/Christmas present ever this year!!!
This one below is pretty neat. It's a 3D, actually they called it a 4D ultrasound picture. We never had them done with Livi or Jack because we knew Livi was a girl and Jack was a boy so we didn't want to see what the features looked like. We won't have another one done like this if we can help it still as of right now we are leaning toward finding out the flavor of this bugger too. But how cool is this??? And here the baby is only about 3 inches, now the baby is about 5-6 inches long. How fast they grow!!!!
