I opted to have an NT scan which basically helps rule out if the baby will have certain chromosomal defects; where they perform an ultrasound and do measurements. I was excited and nervous at the same time and couldn't wait to see the baby again! Rick came along for the show this time, so he could finally see that there is really a baby in there. No, that new gut I got in the last few days is not just from the late night frozen yogurt runs. The Dr. told us right away that the baby was looking great and the measurements were perfect, right on target. She also let us hear the heartbeat which was way more emotional than I had thought. We both got a gold star at seeing exactly where the nose, fingers, heart, and legs were. We could even count the 5 fingers in one of the pictures! She said the baby is about 3 inches long and the heartbeat is 158 bpm, good and strong.
