I feel a little weird posting this with the other not-so-good news on the board today, but in light of our TTT discussion, I'm going to go ahead and celebrate. Our appointments today were great. The ultrasound tech (whom we LOVE) told us everything looked beautiful, and the doctor who supervises ultrasounds came in afterward to confirm it, saying he didn't expect anything to come up in the Mat21 results and we should expect to have a healthy baby. Baby Pebble was squirmy and not very cooperative in terms of position, but they got the measurements they needed -- we could see the nasal bone, both parts of the brain, the spine, and little wavy hands and legs. Nuchal translucency was 1.5mm -- high risk is over 3 I think, maybe 3.5 -- so that was very good.
The genetic counselor was nice, and we should have Mat21 results back in 1-2 weeks. I will be happy to have confirmation of a lack of genetic issues, but I'm getting more and more excited that it will tell us the sex! We then had a quick appointment with the OB, which was great. I didn't get pee freeze, my BP was good, and she was happy with everything. She was particularly happy that I am keeping my weight stable and told me I was doing a great job and I should keep doing what I was doing. This is one of my concerns right now so I was thrilled not only that I didn't gain much but that she recognized it.
We told our circle of close friends today -- two of them knew we were pregnant, but now they all do -- and are telling some extended family (cousins) who don't know yet (immediate family is already in the loop). Pending good Mat21 results, we'll go public at work and at FB soon. So exciting to have good news to share!
And here is baby's head shot:
