They called today and said my risk for Downs is 1 in 1300 and some other Trisomy was 1 in greater than 10,000! I am so excited! That was the last thing I was truly worried about (besides weird unforseen and unstoppable and therefore not really worth the energy to worry about stuff). I'm so excited!! It's weird, like I haven't been so excited yet because I was always waiting for something to go wrong, but I guess it's all okay. I had the scan last Thursday, and found out I had one of those vanishing twins. Some dark mass on the placenta (same placenta so it would have been identical) clued the doctor in. I looked it up on Wikipedia, and I guess it's very common, like one in eight pregnancies or something. So strange! So, if my doc had done an u/s at 5 weeks when we went in, there may have been 2. There was only one by eight weeks though, so while it's interesting (and identical twins would be cool, but TONS of work), I'm not really sad about it. I am happy to have one healthy baby that was flipping all over the place and rolling around on the u/s. I fed it Lucky Charms for breakfast and it was going CRAZY!

Little alien face and skeleton hand


Looks like a Peanuts character to me!

We tried to plug my jump drive into the u/s machine to get all the pics they took, but there was an error and we didn't get them Oh well.

yeah, it is really interesting. He said, "it's very common" but I was like yeah right, how common can it be? Very common, apparently!

Thanks ladies! I am glad too. I had no real reason to worry, but I am a natural worrier, so it is a relief
