April 23, 2010 - Prenatal Testing

We took a quick trip today to IA City to do the first part of the prenatal testing (the later part can't be done until later in the second trimester). The first round of testing pretty much just consisted of an ultrasound and getting more blood drawn (I'd hardly recovered from the last draw!). The ultrasound was once again amazing. Thumper is enormous now! He looks like a human baby now. He was being difficult and moving around so the technician had a hard time getting him to hold still long enough to get a good picture for us, but she managed to get one. She said that everything was looking great from what she could tell. Even though I'm only 13 weeks and 2 days, Thumper is measuring 13 weeks and 6 days!! I guess he's in a hurry!
We won't find out until all the testing is done what the results are - which makes it hard. But Andrew and I are optimistic that things will be fine.
