So we went yesterday for our PAPP-A test, which is a simple sonogram and blood work from me. Nothing invasive, but this tests for the probability of Downs Syndrome, Trisomy 13 and Trisomy 18. We don't anticipate any problems, but will know test results within 7 days.
So the fun part of this visit is, of course, the sonogram. Baby Nichols weighs a whopping 2-3 ounces, and is a grand total of 6 cm long. Compare this to a peach, and you've got Baby Nichols!
This first picture is a side view, with the cursor pointing to a foot, and you can barely make out the 5 toes, but yes, we do have all our fingers and toes, even at this early stage of 13 weeks!
Next, we have a diva baby picture, with the hand right above the forehead, and a clear profile view.
And the last picture is our favorite. It's a straight on picture of the face, 2 eyes, a nose, and a mouth, the abdomen area and 2 hands on either side. The funny part is Baby Nichols resembles Achmed more than either of us! Alien Monkey Child as my bible study kids have already named it!
