In all my excitement, I forgot to get the height, but they said all measurements were great and the chances of any birth defects or Down's were very minimal. I had blood work done that will go with the ultrasound findings. We will get a call in about 2 days. This will give us an idea of the odds of the baby having Down's Syndrome or other issues. The doctor stated it is already a low, low chance. The blood work should confirm that further.
The heartbeat was 163 beats per minute!! The baby also was active and seen doing headstands!!! LOL!! Very active!!
Our wonderful tech stated that we could have an early idea of gender. I was dumbfounded as I have never heard of detecting it this early.
Anyhoo, she told us not to bank on it of course because it is so early and hold onto receipts if we buy baby things (lol), but she thinks it could be a GIRL!!!!!!!!!! We were kind of hoping for this as we are naming a girl after his wonderful, never married, never had kids, sweet, loving 94 year old Aunt Lilly.
Pretty cute considering she is only the size of a lime!
No matter the gender, we are so overjoyed with the wonderful miracle!
The Headstand!!
