Another Ultrasound - Sequential Screen

On May 19, 2010 we went for the Sequential Screen testing. Our doctor said that we were very low risk, but to go ahead and have the tests if insurance would cover it. They did some blood work on me and did a high resolution ultrasound. It was so amazing! Baby was jumping around like crazy and it was so fun to see the activity. We could have watched that screen all day long. All of the measurements looked great. The blood work and follow-up blood work came back clear as well. The doctor did spend some time looking around "down there" and we didn't see anything, so we started thinking "girl" at that point. In fact, while looking around he said "well, there's the umbilical cord" but said nothing else. At 12 weeks, though, it was still too early to be absolutely sure.

We had a regular check-up that afternoon. The morning heartbeat was 160. The afternoon heartbeat was 166. Must be all that jumping around! We started calling Baby our little jumping bean.
