AW: ... and exhale (double post from Dec13)

We had a wonderful early anatomy scan!!  I was paranoid baby wouldn't cooperate, and it didn't cooperate fully, but that's because the tech had to keep chasing it around.  :)  They were able to check full anatomy, it just took a bit longer because of all the movement.

The posterior fossa and cerebellum are beautifully NORMAL for a 16w fetus.  Arms and legs were moving, hands were opening and closing (which is apparently a great sign at 16w) and all measurements are in order or ahead.  I cried a bit when my MFM came in post scan and told me he wanted to walk me through the images; he knew I would only look if things were normal.

MFM said that this is wonderful news and I should allow myself to exhale.  And so I am, though it's a very long, slow exhale.  I know the 20w complete A/S and echo will give us the final confirmation, but I am in a place now where I think we can tell our parents and start making plans.

... And I'm a killjoy and do not know the sex.  4 more weeks!  Though I could easily e-mail my geneticist between now and then to find out, and I may have DH do so later this week.
