Well since the last time I logged in LOTS have changed. During my 11 week appointment Dr
Daum did a
sono and said I still had some bleeding but it had looked like was going to absorb itself. I have had no bleeding since my 9 week appointment!! Dr.
Daum also talked to me about doing my quad screen and basically just explained why and what they tested for. When I went to check out they scheduled me for FOUR WEEKS! this was the first four week appointment I have had since I became pregnant. I was VERY excited that I was back on the normal pregnant woman schedule. My last appointment I was 15 weeks and this is first appointment where we did not do a
sono. He listened to the baby's
heartbeat on the
Doppler which was very cool to hear.. He said it was in "Girl Range" Not getting my hopes up because they could always be wrong. He told me to go do my lab work for my Quad Screen and they would let me know the results. A few days went by and finally they call. It was Dr
Daum himself. It caught me off guard
because the nurse normally calls. Dr
Daum told me that the normal percent for a 26 yr old for down syndrome was 1 to 970. Mine came back 1 to 226. This freaked me out. He told me not to worry that sometimes the test are wrong. He sent
Justin and I to a specialist to have a high tech
sono done to check for soft spots found in down syndrome babies. We had our appointment February 3rd and go figure if the snow did not cancel the appointment. We rescheduled our appointment for the following
Monday. The
sonographer did the
sono and said she would tell us the sex if she could tell. We were very excited to find out early since we were not at a fun appointment anyway. Turns out baby
witte is just perfect! no soft spots or signs of down syndrome!! However baby
witte is VERY active and was not wanting to show his/her parts to anyone! The Dr said baby is sitting on their feet and the cord is between their legs.. I now have an appointment with an imaging place THIS FRIDAY to find out the sex!! She told me that I will not get off the table without knowing! We are having a Gender Reveal Party the next day to let our family know what the sex of baby
witte is. We are so very excited to find out the sex of baby
witte! Mommy and Daddy have LOTS of work to do in your room! I will let everyone know what the sex is
Saturday night.... stay posted!! :)
Love the new blog photo! I am so happy that Baby Witte is healthy! Now, just waiting for the news that Baby Witte is a girl! ;) Or Boy! Can't wait!
