NT Scan update

in Pregnant after 35

We had our NT scan this morning and it was so exciting!!!  It's been 3 weeks since we had our last u/s and I was just praying for a HB.  We got that and so much more!

Turns out we were in the room for almost 1 1/2 hours!  When we got in, the technician was looking all around - at the arms, legs, hands, etc.  It was wiggling all around which was simply *INSANE* to see - it was just amazing.  When she began taking the measurements the baby wouldn't cooperate and get in the right position.  After 30 minutes she had me get up and go back in the waiting room where she fed me juice and Annie's goldfish to get some sugar in my system and get the baby a little hyper.  We then went back and while it worked in the end, we needed another 30 minutes.  MH and I weren't complaining - we were just glued to the screen watching our little baby move around.

The nose bone was there and looked good and the nuchal measurement was under 1mm - which I guess is very good.  We are measuring at 12 weeks and the HB was 189.  She nodded at us and said "everything looks good, you should be fine."

We are not out of the woods - hoping to get Harmony results back no later than Monday.  We have a CVS tentatively scheduled for next Wednesday.  That said, I am beyond elated.  I am so happy I can barely stand it.

Sorry to gush - but WOW - this stuff is amazing.
