1st Trimester Screen

Well, I went to the doctor today. Actually a neonatal specialist that does the first trimester screen. Something that Dr. Z's office doesn't do yet. Actually I think Dr. Z called it a "Fancy-ass machine". It was an ultrasound that measures the membrane at the base of the skull. Then they take your blood now and at 16 weeks. Then when they get all the results back it will tell you if your baby has Down's Syndrome or not. It is supposed to take the place of an amino. It was really interesting and neat. We were able to see that it is already kicking and moving! AMAZING at 12 weeks. It was actually hitting itself in the head. And, Yes, it does have the signature CALABRESE BIG HEAD! So I guess Bubba can't deny it. They measured me at 12 weeks and 6 days. A little further then what they originally thought. It makes better sense, because it coinsides with the date of my last period. Which then puts me at May 15th for a due date. I am anxious to see if I will deliver on my birthday! I will keep you updated, I go see Dr. Z on Friday morning. Talk to you later!!!!
