NT Scan

So we opted for the Nuchal Translucency Screening (NT Scan).  Mainly because insurance covered it and we were already going to be at the office for our first ultrasound.  Super excited that our results were extremely good!

NT measurement below 1.8mm and + nasal bone present.  The nurse from our office called with all the numbers today and I wrote them down, but left at work in my locker.  Will update next week.  The one number I remember, Down's Syndrome risk for us 1:less than 10,000 (which is an AWESOME result!!!)  Our risk based on my age alone was 1:860, but with measurements and blood work we are rated NEGATIVE.  Love it!  Hoping for a healthy bean!!!

First post...

So here we begin.  I have a lot to cover, so I'll work on this post over the next couple days.  For now, here is a pic. of our little one.  We had our first ultrasound/NT Scan today.  Baby T measured 6 days ahead of schedule, so our due date has been moved to April 9, 2012.  Here's to hoping Baby T sits tight until then at least then so he/she doesn't have to share a birthday with their mom or our anniversary! 


We're growing a peach.  At least thats the size of Baby T this week...average length 2.9 inches, weighing in at approximately 0.81 ounces.

Healthy.  Bouncy.  Non-stop.  HR 161bpm.  Waving hello.  SUPER CUTE.  Baby T.
