We had a 12 week sonogram this week for the fetal nuchal fold screening test. This is a new wave of testing I didn't have to have with the girls, so here is a definition from Web MD. (I had to look it up for my own understanding!):
"A combination of screening tests usingultrasound may be done in the first trimester to look for Down syndrome. The integrated testuses an ultrasound measurement of the thickness of the skin at the back of the baby's neck (nuchal translucency) and the bloodlevels of free beta-HCG and a protein called pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) to check for problems"
We should have the results back in a few weeks, but little Nugget's measurements were "healthy and normal" according to the sonographer. Donnie and I had lots of fun watching the little turkey wiggle around, bounce and rub his/her face with it's sweet little hands. We report back in four weeks for a follow-up sonogram, and we should be able to tell the sex of the baby at that time. What's your guess? Boy? Girl? I honestly have NO CLUE. I think God will bless us with another little girl, just because he needs Donnie to stress about three hot chicks **er...make that four, counting their hot momma** living under his roof in about ten years. Serves him right! :) We shall see in four weeks!
