Today I had my first perinatal appointment. They did the u/s first. Baby measured 14w, I am 13w2d, not bad. My babies tend to be bigger due to my diabetes. So far, she liked my blood sugars too. They also did the NT scan for the thickness in the neck. NORMAL!!! WOOHOO!!!! Was a little worried about...but not too worried, at least now that its over :-) We did see the right hand and foot and saw five fingers and five toes. Didn't see the left hand and foot. The u/s tech kind of had no personality but she was nice enough. I hated going with a full bladder but I got through it! They also did the bloodwork for the first trimester screening. Again, not really worried because the scan looked normal. The HB was 156bpm. Yesterday at my OB appointment it was in the 170s.
I wanted to scan my u/s photos but my scanner is not cooperating. I don't think we got the best pics today, but nonetheless, we got some pics. One is a profile of the baby's face. The other is an alien shot. I am very, very excited now. The baby was moving all over too. It was great!
I also got screened yesterday for parvovirus since I work with Kindergarteners. Parvovirus is fifths disease, which both of my kids actually had last spring.
Once I get the pictures to scan, I will add them to the blog.

Great news, Carin. Don't stress about all the testing. I was already 40 when I had Luke, and he's perfect. I'm sure your baby will be too.
