WOW! What a day. Ray and I went to Henrico's Doctor Hospital is have a ultra sound done for screening of chromosome defects. The ultra sound was neat. Technology has changed a lot in the last eight years. We could see the whole baby, and its heart just beating away. It would of been much more warm and fuzzy for me if I hadn't had a full bladder. The technician was trying to get the baby to move so she was bouncing/pushing the wand on me. I thought for sure I was going to pee my pants. After she was done a nurse came and took us to another room to go over the results. She was super nice and didn't put any pressure on us. The chances of a 43 year having down syndrome are 1 in 32. After the screening my chances went down to 1 and 162. The chromosome Tri 21 was 1 in 650. We took that has great news. We knew going in we won't going to doing any invasive testing. The nurse gave us lots of info and took all families medical history. We go back on March 3 for the follow-up. We felt very blessed that things seem to be going so well. It is always good when the doctor doesn't show up!
I treated Ray with lunch at the Bass Pro Shop. Then gave him an hour to wander around and dream. I told him next time we are going to Short Pump Mall:)
