First Trimester Screening

We had our first trimester screening for birth defects yesterday. It is a combination of an ultrasound and blood work that checks for the three most common birth defects. It was my first abdominal ultrasound and Justin's first time hearing the heart beat(162 bpm). We got to see the baby wiggle and squirm around, and it also waved it's little hands at us a few times. It was completely awesome! :)

The pictures from the ultrasound didn't come out that great, but here is the best one:



Everything measured within normal range and the blood work should be back by the end of the week. Things are looking great so far! :)
