Ultrascreen

For the first time today, we laid eyes on baby S and it was love at first sight! We went in for an ultrascreen which is a combination of an ultrasound and blood test to determine the risk for Down's Syndrome, Trisomy 18 and Trisomy 21. Even though we know the risk for the baby is minimal, we wanted the ultrasound to see the baby.


Dylan was with us during the ultrasound and we were trying to show him the baby in Mommy's belly. We were pointing out the baby's head, feet, and hands. In the middle of it, while looking at the screen, he says "watch elmo". I guess he isn't quiet interested in his baby sibling just yet.

The US tech also gave us an educated guess on the sex of the baby.... which we'll be keeping a secret - at least until we get a more definite 'guess'.
