Nuchal Test Update

We got home from SLO a little bit ago. I've been trying to convince Chels to let me take a nap but since she had one in the car it's not working. Oh well.

The Nuchal Test went splendidly. The Dr. said everything is measuring good and that baby looks healthy. She was trying to get him/her to turn over so she could get the perfect view to make the measurements but I guess our baby is ultra chill because it was lying very still. The Dr. even said, "Baby is very relaxed right now." She poked at him/her a little more and then all the sudden he/she flipped, it was the cutest thing! To actually see it move so much was amazing. We asked about the gender but she said she couldn't say for sure. We'll just have to beg our OB to take a look at the next appt. on April 3rd. But anyways, baby looks good and that's all that counts. I'm on cloud 9!
This is baby looking down, you can see the spine at the top.
This is baby looking straight ahead at us. You can see the brain on the right side. I'm not sure which extremity that is at the top on the left side?!?!

I'm so glad things are going well with the pregnancy. It really is torture waiting to find out if it's a boy or girl. I can't remember, did you say if you had a preference? Take care!
