13 Weeks Ultrasound

7.23.2015

I went and had a special ultrasound where they test the fluid behind the baby's neck, and do a more deeper, detailed look at the baby. More measurements and all that good stuff. Honestly, I didn't want to do it. I mean obviously no matter what, we will love this baby to our fullest hearts, but with thought and prayer, both Dan and I felt we should do it, just to make sure that everything was ok.

It scared me to death, and I was so nervous leading up to this appointment. I mean, what if they really did find something wrong?! Even more sucky, Dan was out of town, so I had to go to the appointment alone. I wouldn't have done it, but unfortunately you have a very small window to do the testing,which is at 13 weeks, and Dan won't be home until I'm 14. So if I had waited for Dan it would  have been too late. So I went alone. 

I took this picture, while waiting for the doctor. Legs up in stirrups and just really missing Dan. 

After lots and lots of measurements and trying to get this little baby to move into proper positions, testing was done. Everything looks normal and healthy. The baby had a heart beat at 163 and the measurements behind the back of the neck, along with other positioned measurements, everything looked great! 

We still won't hear back for a few days with our test results back for down syndrome, but the doctor said everything looked perfectly normal. Still weighs on your mind though...

He also was able to tell the gender of the baby. Well he was about 80% sure. I had to resist the hardest temptation ever, and not find out. I obviously am waiting for Dan, if we find out at all... We will see. 

Creepy baby face. It was so great seeing two legs and two arms and knowing everything is growing right. I mean this baby face is super creepy! 

Giving us a little fist pump. How you doing little bug! 

So really it all went well. I am still pretty anxious to hear from the specialist hopefully early next week! Until then we get to keep watching this baby grow!

*Note: Doctor called and all blood work and measurements came back perfectly! As of right now, so deformities or other disabilities. (Sigh of relief) 

Why am I so panicked over this 3rd baby?!
