My First Mother's Day!

This week I got great news that the Harmony Blood test came back as "Very Low Risk" for Down Syndrome or Trisomy 13 or 18!  There is a very low error rate for this test and the nurse who called me with the results correlated it to an Amniocentesis.  I head in to Dr. Marcus' office on Tuesday for my 16 week OB follow-up, and I can ask him then about the second trimester screening that's available.  I think it involves more poking with needles :(  I have been checking the baby's heartbeat every few days with the Doppler and its been running about 150 bpm.

This weekend also marks my first pseudo Mother's Day!  My sweet sisters Whitney and Kelly sent me some beautiful flowers to celebrate!  Thanks girls!


Also, my sister-in-law Becky sent me this cute little picture frame from Amazon.com that says "Love at first sight" and then you put in your early ultrasound images to remember when you first met your little one.  A unique and very thoughtful gift!
