NT Scan

So this morning I went for my NT scan. I had a very lousy night last night. I was so anxious for my ultrasound today that it kept me up. I woke up at 2 am and didn't fall back asleep until 5 am. 3 whole hours up anxiously waiting. I can only imagine how I will feel the night before my big ultrasound.

The ultrasound technician that performed my NT scan today was a different woman. All the other times I have had u/s it's always been the same very nice lady. Today this tech was very rude.

I laid down and she begun asking me a few questions. She than began the u/s. She had a student there with her so many times she was talking to the student and pointing things out. I did not hear the hb which I though I might of. The heartbeat was beating quite strong again at 178 bpm. This baby has some strong hb. It's always in the high 170s. I asked her about my placenta and she rudely said that today's test was not to check my placenta. She never let me see my baby or pin point any body parts. She said my baby was lazy today and she had to poke him/her a few times in order to get the measurements. I was measuring 4 days ahead, so woohoo for that. I'm originally 11w6d today but at the u/s baby was measuring 12w3d. After she was done, the student sat down and took control of the u/s. She than moved the screen towards me and pin pointed out a few body parts. You could clearly see the head, arms, feet, facial bones, and heart. He/she was kicking it's feet, waving it's arms at me, and moving all around. The baby is so adorable and every time I see it, I fall more in love with him/her. I know it's so early, but I can't wait to see it's face. John and I are so different that it's going to be very interesting to see what the baby will look like. I just hope that Baby D gets his/her father's eyes which are blue.

Friday is my follow up appt with my OB.
