Yippee!!

Just a quick one to say everything went great at the ultrasound yesterday! She is developing completely normally and is actually a little ahead of her estimated gestational age, so that is great news!! They did not find any red flags or any other markers for Down's Syndrome so we did not opt to do the amnio. First time we have left an ultrasound this pregnancy not feeling like we had the weight of the world on our shoulders, we actually felt good and optimistic and ready for anything! Our risk assessment has not changed, but we feel very confident now that all is well, and if there are some challenges, so be it.
We got the cutest 3D ultrasound pictures as well, so tomorrow I will dust off our scanner and put them up here. Our baby girl is such a diva already...
Thanks so much for all the well wishes, thoughts, prayers, phone calls, listening ears through all of this, and encouraging comments~ it feels nice to be supported!
