9 week checkup

I had my appointment with Dr. Wein this morning, and everything went great! He did another u/s and I got to see little Jacob or Hannah moving his or her arm around!!! The heartbeat looked great and our baby is measuring right on target. He is saying the due date is April 2nd.


He talked to me today about more in depth screening due to my turning 35 before delivery. I told him I didn't want to do an amnio unless it was an absolute necessity. So instead I will go see Duke Perinatal Consultants of Greensboro the 14th of September. They will perform 1st trimester screening, which will include bloodwork, an u/s on the back of the babys head (mainly looking at the space in between the area in the neck and the thickness of the bones in the neck/back of the head area. They will also offer genetic counseling from what I was told today. After that I will go back to Dr. Wein 2 weeks later for another OB checkup on the 28th. So things are moving right along, and our baby is doing great!!
