Yup.

That baby in there is a girl.

She looks very healthy, with the appropriate number of appendages, chambers in the heart, blood flow, etc.

From a 1:2485 chance of her having a serious genetic disorder, we are now moved to a roughly 1:5000 chance. The perinatologist said that without an amnio, that’s about the most favorable odds they are willing to give. He concurred with our view that the risk associated with an amnio outweighs the value of additional information, although emphasized that it is my choice to get one if I want it.

No, thanks.

Unsurprisingly, she is measuring a few days ahead of her gestational age. I grow big babies.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Somehow it’s much more real and exciting with this one additional piece of information.
