Blood drawing and Ultra Sound 2- March 19th

Today I went for a blood draw which will let me know the chances of the baby having birth defects such as spine bifida (Sp?), or Down syndrome. Since I am at the optimum age for carrying a baby the nurse said we shouldn’t be too worried about the tests. The doctor had a hard time getting the measurement he needed because the baby kept curling up in a ball and putting its back out for us to see. They said this is a defense mechanism that they develop even that early in the woom. Crazy, huh? Eventually we were able to get the pictures and blood we needed and I was again on my way! I was so happy that I got to see the bun again! Steve has nicknamed the baby “the bun” until we know what we are having… he wasn't able to make this appointment so my mom came instead! She was so happy to see the little baby on the screen... We are truly blessed.
