I went in for my first trimester genetic screening on Thursday. The technician is able to tell if the baby has Down Syndrome or other genetic anomalies by measuring the amount of fluid on the back of the baby's neck-crazy, huh? It took a little while for the baby to turn over but when she/he did, the measurement was good. So, I was very happy with this news. I also did a blood test that can tell if the baby has Spina Bifida and some other things. They said we'd have the results of that back in a week. However, with Christmas this week, I am sure it will be longer. The tech said the heart, brain, and kidneys looked good. Also, we saw the spine and it looked good too. I have now gained 10 pounds, which freaked me out a bit. But the doctor said that my weight looked good, so I am just going to trust her on this issue.
