Thumbs Up

So I had my first ultrasound today. Because of my AMA (advanced maternal age - sheesh), I opted for a 12-week ultrasound that measures the baby's nuchal folds and better detects chromosomal abnormalities such as Down's, Trisomy, etc.

For me, it's a frightening moment when you're staring at the blank screen, knowing that within minutes, your whole life can change. The baby could be healthy, unhealthy, there could be 2 babies ... The doctor said our ultrasound looked normal, but it will be sent out and studied and reviewed and they will call us next week with results.

In the meantime I have a nice little picture of its wonderful profile, jaunty nose and all, giving us the Arthur Fonzarelli 'aaaaeeeeyyy' thumbs up, proudly displaying all five fingers.
