no. 2 update
January 15th, 2009 | By Kyoko
We went to Fair Oaks Hospital for nuchal translucency screening (blood test & ultrasound) this morning. We didn’t do this for immi (we were seeing a different doctor at that time) but our current doctor (whom we like a whole lot) recommended that we do this since it’s non-invasive.
Anyway, we found out that now our little no.2 has just 1 in 10,000 chance of being at risk for Down syndrome. And everything looks good so far. S/he was sleeping during the ultrasound, and the technician had to jab him/her (and me!!) with the ultrasound wand thingie to get him/her to move a little. S/he had head shaped just like immi’s and mine!
…so here s/he is:
…sleeping and wants to be left alone.
Todd still thinks that it’s a girl. I think that it looks like it can be either. What do you think? We’ll find out in about 7 weeks.
Ahhhhh, no. 2 is adorable! That profile is so pretty, which makes me guess…girl!
Have you started to think of names? (I understand if it’s top secret!)
You know, we have been wondering what we would name a second one if we ever had one, long before this pregnancy since we couldn’t imagine a name more perfect than immi’s but i guess we’ll have to come up with one now…or by july anyhow! With immi, we were quite sure about the name before we knew she was a girl (though Todd will argue that he had always known it would be a girl!) and we never had a chance to think of any good name in case it was a boy.
