After the Bean's failed appointment (3 times, 2 hours and still no luck) I got to go back and wait for an HOUR!  Luckily with my friend Brandy there Bean cooperated and the Dr got the image needed for the first trimester screen.  Chris and I did the Counsyl genetic screening and will get the results back in approximately 2 weeks.  Hopefully by next week we will have the results of the first trimester screen.  This blood test along with the images taken looks for down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities.  Have a great week :)

So my fabulous friend Aimee put my mind at ease today by showing the little bean.  I was embarrassed when she told me that my gas was blocking the baby...poor child.  Good thing s/he has a pool of water surrounding and protecting from my insides.  The picture shows beans head on the right with the dark spot being eyes.  On top is a little arm.
