Today we went to the scary doctor. It was the doctor we went to for the 2nd opinion when I had my miscarriage so you can imagine what it was like to go back to their for testing on this pregnancy. Now this testing is just normal end of the first trimester screening. They do a blood test to test for abnormalities (plus we will get to know in 3 weeks the gender from it!) and then they do an in depth ultrasound to check for a bunch of other things that may be signs of chromosome abnormalities like the measurement of fluid that accumulates under the babies next. Luckily Poppy passed all the test with flying colors. The doctor said that Poppy looked great and that everything was exactly like it should be. They also check for things going on with me to see how my body is doing with the pregnancy- and except for my a little too much weight gain everything is amazing! Dan was able to come with me this time and he was amazed that he got to see the brain... we also got to see Poppy being a little occupied with his thumbs, he was sucking them the entire time!
