Update: 7.1 cm's (That's one big Bean!)
(A pic of the bean's spine, head to tail)
Hey all,
We're just back from our Stage 1 ultrasound. During this exam they checked for high level chromosomal abnormalities present in Down Syndrome and like-conditions. They measured the distance behind the spine and the skin at the back of the neck as well as the length of it's nose bone (which doesn't fully develop in Down cases.)
Out little bean is in good health and developing at a normal rate. They determined the due date will be September 15th, 2007 - On Maria's Birthday! And that we're officially 13 wks and 2 days today.
Anyway.. in the process, Maria and I were witness to a great deal of bouncing around, sucking it's fingers, twisting and turning for a comfortable position. What a cutie-pie!!!!!!
I'm embedding some photos for you all to enjoy.
We have monthly check ups from this point, which will eventually become 2wk check ups. Our next scheduled ultrasound for the stage 2 diagnostics will be on April 27th. They will check digits and the baby's sex. So... keep an eye out for the next update.
Love all around,
Jon, Maria and Kaiea
