NT Scan, Single Subject

Dr. Fabulous sent me to have an unexpected nuchal translucency scan on Squiggy on Monday.

It was so different from the one I had with the girls. Theirs took a good while and the tech let us view them in 3D/4D. I guess with a singleton pregnancy, no one gives a shit about you…? The tech spent eight minutes taking the measurements — and 20 minutes talking about his semi-failed music career as a penis pianist. Bastard.

Anyhow.

Squiggy looks good. His nuchal fold is practically non-existent, so no apparent worries. We met with Dr. B, our perinatologist from the last pregnancy. She was so happy to hear about the girls and how well they’re doing. I’ll bet happy stories like ours make her day — she probably deals with a lot of tragic cases.

Here are the ultrasound pictures. I’m still thinking boy. He looks so different from the girls. Also, he appears to already be drinking a beer in one of the photos. We’ll find out on July 16.
