Preliminary Results from NT Scan

Presence of a nasal bone = CHECK!
Space in the back of the neck measuring normal = CHECK!

We should know more about the blood test results early next week.  Doctors did not think that this would show anything abnormal based on this morning's scan.

We did get another report of this baby being very wiggly...it took one u/s tech and one physician almost a half hour to get the pictures they wanted.  Sounded more like a wrestling match.  I quote from an email from our surro "M":

"I got to see a lot of movement. I saw arms, hands, feet and legs. I saw skull details, like plates, eye sockets and jaw bone. I saw ribs. It even mooned us at one point. It was very active initially and then took a nap at the time they actually needed some movement. This prompted the doctor to comment "C'mon, dude!" and "OK, perform...now!"

Thanks for the pictures "M"...and thanks for being a trooper and enduring all these pokes and prods and one super wiggly (and not so shy) baby.

I think if you look closely you can see an eye socket.  It looks like our little guy/girl is just chilling (but apparently that wasn't the case...we've still got some aerobics going on in there!)
