Great Results

So, I had to share this with everyone. Bryan and I had a hard time deciding if we wanted to do the sequential screening for Baby Benton. When we were first asked about it, we thought, well it doesn't matter if we find out something is wrong, we aren't going to change anything. So, we almost dismissed it immediately. Then, we decided that it wouldn't hurt to be armed with knowledge about what to expect. So, we decided to go ahead with the tests, and think positively. This test screens for Down Syndrome, Trisomy-18, and Neural Tube Defects (like Spina Bifida). They did the first round of blood tests at my 12 week appointment and did an ultrasound to test a fold on the back of the baby's neck. Then, they do another blood test at 16 weeks to compare results from the first test. Well, the fold they said looked nice and thin. And, then this week we got our blood test results back, and everything was within normal limits. This is one of those tests where a lot of people get false positives, so it was a relief to know I don't even have to worry about that. So Martin is in the clear, and Mommy and Daddy can breathe a sigh of relief!
