I had a nuchal scan done at the hospital this afternoon, to check for the likelihood of certain chromosomal anomalies. Luckily, at least from what they could see, everything looks perfect! They'll call me in a week with blood test results, letting me know my chances of having a baby with Down's.
I don't care how many times I've done this: babies are a MIRACLE. Just a miracle. I was transfixed while watching our newest miracle on the screen. What a magnificent gift from God. I feel SO incredibly blessed, I can't even find the words to express it.
The specialist at the hospital said that he'd like to see me again at 18 weeks. He said he'll do more measurements at that point, and also let us know the gender of the baby!! So.... on October 16, we'll know which color to paint the baby's room! Yippeee!!!
The ultrasound tech said it looked a little like it MIGHT possibly be a girl. But there is certainly no definitive answer at only 12 weeks.
I've already got the blessing of each gender. So, boy OR girl: I don't care. I want a healthy, happy baby to love.
