Testing

So the Dr. gave Kyle and I the option to have some prenatal testing done to determine whether our baby was at an increased risk for down syndrome or spina bifida. At first it did not matter whether we did these tests or not because we were not going to terminate the pregancy either way. However when they told us the test was an ultrasound we jumped all over it. Any opportunity to see our little one is much welcomed. Our profile picture is the ultrasound that was taken on Wednesday, January 7th at 13 weeks along. We call this picture our "Can can"
baby because he/she was kicking all over the place.

The Nuchal Translucency was measured (It's the space behind the neck) and measured well within normal tolerances and the nasal bone was well developed which is a great sign that there is little risk of down syndrome. Other than that, the Doctor said everything was looking great and the baby was measuring exactly where it should be.
