Ultrasound #3 & Ultrascreen Testing

WOW!

November 11th

I was scheduled for another ultrasound and the ultrascreen testing ( First-trimester prenatal screening protocol designed to provide patient specific risk for Down Syndrome, trisomy 18 and other chromosomal abnormalities. Ultrascreen combines ultrasound measurement of the fluid accumulation behind the neck of the fetus (nuchal translucency) with maternal serum markers and is the earliest and most effective Down Syndrome screen available) on November 11th and couldn't hardly wait to get to the Dr. so we could see the progress of our little one. Nathan and I were shocked at what we saw when the technician began the ultrasound. The little spot on my old ultrasounds now looked like an actual baby....we couldn't believe it. She also turned on the 3D and 4D ultrasound and we were amazed to see the little one moving about and sucking its thumb. At this moment it became real to me that we were actually going to have a cute little one to love and spoil soon and I was so very thankful that God has given us this precious gift. This video is of the baby moving and we will hopefully post more videos and ultrasound pics of our little one in the next few days. In case your wondering....we were unfortunately not able to find out the sex of the baby.
