Genetic Screening

We went today for our genetic screening. They measured the nuchal translucency fluid behind the baby's neck/spine. Everything measured perfectly normal. They were also very happy to see a nasal bone, which indicates less of a risk of a child with down syndrome. The heart rate was 162 bmp. I thought right then, it could be a girl (old wives tale). Our baby has long legs and waved at us (the white line in the tummy area is the camera flash). After the ultrasound tech, Olympia, was finished doing all of her measurements she asked us if we wanted to know the gender. Of course we said yes. So she turned the sonogram wand (over my belly) and I knew right away. "It's a girl!" She said that this year she has seen so many boys come through, but that ours was definitely not a boy. I went ahead and did the gender blood test as well and will get the 99% accurate results back in 7-10 days. We will let you know the blood test results (genetic and gender) in a week or so.
