Surfacing for just a moment to say that all is well, we're just swamped at work and at home and haven't had a moment to update the blog. I need to get back on it, because this is the only record I have of this adventure, and I don't want to forget things!
A couple highlights from the last few weeks:
1) NT scan on September 11 put our risk of Down Syndrome at 1 in 67 (it was 1 in 500 pre-screening, based on my age [32] alone). Apparently it was something in my blood, because the measurements taken at the ultrasound were fine.
2) Follow-up bloodwork, typically done between 15 and 18 weeks (I forget what this one is called), was better: Down Syndrome risk is now 1 in 10,000. The genetic counselor who called with the results says that is "as good as it gets" in terms of being low risk. *insert huge sigh of relief here*
3) Bi-monthly cervix checks have been going well. I tend to measure between 3.7 and 4+ each time, which the MFM is very happy with. Next cervix check is next week, 10/21. I like that they peek in on the babies after checking my cervix. Even though it's brief, it is awesome to get to see them so frequently.
4) First growth scan, done at 15w4d, showed both babies are growing well. They are measuring on-track for their gestational age, and both were a healthy 5 oz as of the scan. Next extended scan is "The BIG Ultrasound," which will be in a few weeks. We're so excited!
Alright, back to work for me. ::pout::
