Little Wiggle Worm



Today has been the most exciting day yet!
Mom met me over at my OB for my NT screening. An NT screening is when they do an ulteasound to measure the back of the baby's neck to determine if there is a risk of the baby developing Down Syndrome or Trisomy 13.

The test results were very favorable, so nothing to worry about there.

The bonus benefit of having this test is of course the fact that you get another ultrasound!

The scan started out with the baby sleeping. We could see the little heart flutter (168 bpm) and it was beautiful! But all of a sudden, something happened and the baby woke up! For the next 45 minutes, this baby did not stop moving, kicking, punching, opening and closing it's mouth, and rolling around. I think the baby was trying to give me a hint as to what to expect when he/she is born. Hence, the nickname "Wiggle Worm".

So anyways, the baby has ten fingers and ten toes! Everything looks perfect and right where is should be.

Please enjoy the pictures and the video!
