Hello friends and family,
Kyle and I went to our new Dr. today. I decided to not go to the young chap that my previous Dr. suggested as I was not to comfortable going to someone that is so young. This decision brought me back to my original choice of a husband/wife team that has been in the Conejo Valley for a long time with a very good reputation. Actually, the wife of the team was my very first Dr., but with insurance changes, I no longer could go to her. Anyway, long story short, Kyle and I are both very happy with our choice.
Our appt. went very well :-) the baby was moving all over the place and the Dr. was pleased with how everything is coming along. He suggested that I get my first trimester screening as soon as possible since I am at the last week that you could get it. I called the specialist that does the screening and amazingly got in this afternoon. The specialist was also pleased with all the bone, brain, neck, etc....structures and believes that our baby is very healthy. A blood test was taken to see our chances of having a baby with downs syndrome, results to come shortly. I am not worried about it one bit since all was looking well and the Dr.'s were very positive for a good outcome. I really enjoyed seeing the specialist and getting those close up pic's of the baby, what a joy to see our new life being so active! We also got a special treat of a 3D ultrasound (above). The baby seems a little camera shy as he/she has the hands over the face. I can't believe how far along the technology in ultrasounds have come.
Our next appt. is in 5 weeks (Oct. 24th) and we will be able to find out what we are having, I can't wait! We have names picked out for both and would be equally happy with either sex....although my nephews have told me that they prefer I have a boy :-)
I will post more when I get more information to share. Have a fantastic day!
