The last week has been an eventful one. We took a couple of major steps into the second trimester. Christa got some new threads and gave a little blood.
First, the good news; the initial blood screening for neural tube defects was negative. This test has an accuracy of about 80% for detecting critical developmental problems for the spinal cord and brain.
Christa has also started to show quite a bit. So much so, in fact, that she’s already had to take a trip to the maternity clothes store. She’s a bit ahead of schedule for belly size and weight gain...
Admit it - the word “twins” raced into your mind...
The next big step is the ultrasound on August 29th. We’ll find out whether we are having a boy or girl or...both?
