I'm back and this time with a very exciting update. We went to the OBGYN yesterday and had an ultrasound done to measure the neck of the baby to detect Down Syndrome markers. Baby Rojek is in the clear! Lil Bug was moving around, putting their little hands on the face and really looks like a baby now. We both got a little emotional seeing that. Sometimes at 12 weeks you can tell gender from the Ultrasound but our tech didn't give us a clue. After, I checked in the forums and quite a few agreed that the "nub" was angled straight and without the curve, so the guess is a girl.
Another thing we did was the NIPT (non-invasive prenatal test). "The NIPT test checks for the most common fetal chromosome anomalies: trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) and trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome). Also the gender of the fetus can be determined."
I'm all positivity that this will come back good. We will know in 10 days, although, people say it takes less than that. I can't wait to find out if we are having a boy or girl. I'm pretty sure it's a girl but I don't want to place any bets.
I don't know if I've mentioned this on here but we came up with names a long time ago... Zoey Kathleen Rojek (girl) or Keanu (leaning towards Kristian, Chris or Kris) Rojek (boy).
I'll be back next time to share which one!
