Just had 12 week ultrasound!

I just got home from my 12 week ultrasound, had 3-d ultrasound as well as the normal one.   he drew blood for chromazone screening...

dr. said everything looked good, he measured the baby's neck (i guess with downsyndrome the neck is elongated sometimes) neck looked good, everything looked good, measurements were right on.
(which i was worried about slightly, as previous ultrasounds kept showing 1 week smaller than my dates -  today's measurement was exact.  11 weeks 5 days)

Here is a link to see the ultrasound pic of the Frankie Baby.  :

yes, i still am due May 28th.  that's my due date according to my LMP, earlier when i was measuring a week behing my obgyn didn't change my due date, she kept it according to LMP.

jnett- yes the 3-d was cool, but i didn't see him/her moving in the 3-d, what he did was, it was the same ultrasound machine, he did a 2D ultrasound, we saw it moving all around, bouncing...  then when he took still pictures, he'd then convert them to 3-D

everyone else--- thanks for your congrats!  I feel so happy and so lucky, and so content. its funny, it looks so fragile and small, but the 2-d ultrasound he also took, the baby looks big and strong.  here's the link for that one.

That's so great!  Was the 3-D ultrasound cool?

I'm glad to hear that your pregnancy measurements "caught up".  Mine were 1 week behind at my first ultrasound, and seem to have caught up a few days during this last time, too.  Sometimes I wonder if the fetus is just curled up funny...?

I'm going to check out your link now...
