12.5 WEEKS

Monday (March 15^th) was our appointment for the nuchal translucency ultrasound – it is part of the first trimester screen for Down Syndrome and similar anomalies.  The ultrasound went well and looked, and the ultrasound tech referred to Jellybean as a ‘jumping bean’, since Jellybean was moving all over the place.  The blood work that goes with the screen should be back either by the end of this week or early next week.  If there are no ‘problems’ identified, we won’t hear anything until we see the midwife on April 5^th.  If they see ‘anything of concern’ they will call us before that point. 

Everything continues to be uneventful, which is what we want.  More updates as things progress, but probably not until our appointment on April 5^th unless something unexpected creeps up.
