Doctor Visit

Today I went to a maternal fetal medicine doctor for a 1st trimester screening. It was WAY more than I was expecting. I heard my OB say that I would have some blood drawn, but had no
idea that I would have such a detailed sonogram along with it. Hunter wasn't even with me! :

The sonogram went really well. The doctor said that the baby looks beautiful and is very healthy. He told me that he could look closely at the heart if I wanted him to....and of course, I said PLEASE DO! I am very pleased to report that Baby Henley's heart looked perfect. We saw all four chambers, blood flow that was in straight lines (blood flow with Chase's heart was ALL over the place), and veins that looked very good and connected to the right things. It was so wonderful to hear those words...."your baby looks very healthy". : )

We also found out the gender of the baby (95% accuracy), but I'm going to let Eli and Chase announce that in a later post. ; )

We also got some awesome 4D pictures of the baby....I'll post those a little later too!

We are very thankful and blessed!

So glad things went so well! I'm amazed you were able to see the sex of the baby so early! I'm anxiously awaiting my next sonogram! Can't wait to find out what you're having and see pictures!
