12 Week Ultrasound

On November 10th, I went for my genetic screening at Brookwood Hospital. I got to see the baby on ultrasound and hear the heart beat. The nurse took LOTS of measurements and pictures for the doctor to look at. I only got to bring home 2 of those pictures though but I'm thankful for those. 

The baby is growing great and measured 5 days ahead of my due date, but my doctor isn't changing my due date as of now. Unless the baby continues to grow fast then maybe she would move  my date up a little but probably not.

Since the screening, I've heard back from the doctor and our baby has a 1/10,000 chance of having Down Syndrome and/or any spinal malformations. Thank you, Lord for allowing our baby to grow just as he/she should be. 

You may be wondering if they predicted the babies gender and they did. Both the nurse and doctor guess GIRL again but we won't know for sure until after Christmas when we have our next ultrasound aka the "gender" ultrasound.

So I'm happy to share all the good news about Baby Williamson!! 

I hope everyone is having a great week!!

First Ultrasound

The baby measured 8 weeks, 2 days and the doctor said he/she looked great. Yay! In the picture, the head is up top and you can see little arms and legs starting to grow out from the tiny body. At this point the baby still has a little tail that will be gone by next week, I think. They baby is about the size of a kidney bean or a medium raspberry this week. Little peanuts heart rate was 169bpm, which is very good!!! So we have a healthy baby on the way!!
