Today I had an appointment for 1st trimester screening and genetic disorder testing. Brendan is in London, so Mom and Alexandra came along, thank goodness! We had 30 minutes of counseling about all the different disorders, and how they test and what they look for. We then went in for the sonogram, video below. The nurse told Alexandra absolutely NO PICTURES and to turn off phones, who knows how she pulled this off, but she did a great job, watch in the first minute when the baby jumps! Make sure to keep the volume up for the first minute.
Everything looked great, and the baby looked perfect and healthy. One small thing, there were "visible remains of a vanished twin" my first thought was:
How would I have ever survived?!?
Mom would have to take one?
What would I have done with two?
Then as the day went on I got upset and Hormones kicked in, could be because of Dads fall yesterday, CoCo dying today, and Brendan being out of town. Good news is we have one perfectly healthy baby in there, and obviosuly the other one wasn't perfect and this is Gods way of taking it away. It will just disappear on its own and we dont expect it to cause any problems. WHEW! The doctor came in and continued to do more measurements and look at the baby, so we got to see lots of different angles. Baby H was larger and measuring bigger, the new due date is now August 16th!
What a whirldwind of a day!
