Healthy Baby!!!

Dear Blueberry,

One of those test you actually want to score negative
A few days ago, we went in for the Nuchal Translucency Screening (NT Screen), and guess what? YOU PASSED! What does that mean? Well, this test basically rules out any major risk that you may have Down Syndrome, chromosomal abnormalities, as well as any major congenital heart problems.

This test consisted of two parts: the first being a blood test your mom had to take the week before, and the second being another ultrasound. Not only did this allow the doctor to rule out major health risks, but it also got us another look at you!

12 weeks and counting!
Yeah, nothing too fancy here, but the good news is that you're looking healthy, and you've got all your arms, legs, toes, fingers, etc. While watching the image of you on the ultrasound screen, I couldn't but help think about how blessed your mom and I are. I worry everyday that a complication could arise, but at every turn, God has answered our prayers and has proven to us that we are not in control...that he has the ultimate say and God-willing, will speed you along to a healthy birthday!

Love, Dad


P.S. Doc says 80% chance you're a girl :)
