Sequential Screen

We had the sequential screen today for the baby. They do a sonogram to measure the fluid in the back of the neck and a blood test to determine the probability whether the baby is high risk for Down Syndrome.

The Dr said everything looked very good. The heart was beating well and we could see it and hear it. The baby measured a little big making the estimated due date 11/25. They still say the official due date is 11/29 though. I'm anticipating that I'll be in labor during the A&M vs Texas football game to drive Greg crazy. Who knows.

We were able to see the baby moving around and could see the arms and legs some. Of course the baby turned over so they weren't able to predict what the sex was. The Dr said they can predict correctly 95% of the time at this gestation. Of course they said Landon was a girl at this time. We'll have to wait a couple more months to find out.
