First Trimester Screening Pics

As promised, although a bit late, here are the ultrasound pics I got while waiting for the baby to get into position for the NT testing. The NT (nuchal translucency) test measures the amount of fluid in between the bones at the back of the neck. I don't have the results yet. They will go over it at my next appointment this Friday. But my NP is a "no news is good news" kind of person so I'm not worried. As for finding out the gender, we won't find out till April 5th. I will be going to Valley Med for that ultrasound because they have more sophisticated equipment. It'll be much more accurate than what they have at Planned Parenthood. So far I've felt baby movement just one other day since St. Patrick's Day, but I'm sure it's still a little early and soon the baby will get big enough and strong enough to really make itself felt!

These were taken at 13 weeks, 6 days... one day before I hit my 2nd trimester.
