17 week Onion Sprout pic

Yup this is Sprout in Onion mode ... of course we don't look any bigger :)

So, the tests all went amazingly well.  We had an ultrasound which showed that we indeed had a baby swimming around in there dancing up a storm.  Sprout has all 10 fingers and toes (adorable) and also has a really strong heart and brain.  The heart beats were anywhere from 140 - 150 beats a minute. 

All of the old mama tests came back incredible - in case anyone has any need to know the specifics:

1. Downs Syndrome Risk was less than 1 in 12,000 (my age bracket is given 1 in 200)
2. Trisomy 18 was less than 1 in 100,000 (my age bracket was given 1 in 100)
3. Other chromosomal abnormalities is less than 1 in 10,000 (my age bracket was given 1 in 250)
4. Neural Tube Defect was negative.

AMAZING!  We are so very happy!

Also, while doing laundry late on Sunday night we BOTH felt the baby move.  It was amazing.  Of course I have a bruise from where I pushed Dave's hand into my belly so he could feel but ... eh!
