All tests are good!

At the 13 week point in a pregnancy they give you an "NT scan". Basically this is a series of tests to see if you are at high risk for trisomy 18 or 21. Trisomy 21 is Downs Syndrome and trisomy 18 is another genetic disorder. They combine blood tests with ultrasound results to determine the odds of having a baby with these types of genetic defects. In the ultrasound they look at the size of the fluid pouch in the neck flap. If it is greater than 3mm thick than you are at a higher risk. I think ours measured at around 1.6mm. Isn't it amazing what they can see with an ultrasound?

Next ultrasound is November 9. This is the BIG ONE. 40 minutes of measuring baby parts and looking at organs for any abnormalities. This is also the ultrasound that, if the baby cooperates, you can find out the gender. James and I have "agreed"that if Macnugget is spread eagle and showing us the goods we will find out. If he/she is being modest, we will not poke and prod the little one to move and show us what he/she has down there. So, start placing your bets. I think Katie might want to start another pool. Who won the last pool anyway?

As Memere pointed out, little Macnugget has an angel watching over him/her! Check out the angel in the top left part of the sac! What a lucky baby!
