Nuchal Translucency

The sonographer says he never tries to determine gender at the nuchal translucency scan. He said it's too early. I know plenty of people who have learned the gender of their baby at 12-13 weeks, but we'll be waiting until I have the Level II u/s. I'm hoping to have that one done in August as I have 3 weeks off in between the summer and fall semesters, but it might not be until September if we have to wait all the way until 20 weeks (which is when we found out with Nadia). The good news is that baby passed the test. They look for a measurement under 3mm, and the measurement today was less than 2mm. I always go into each ultrasound excited to see the baby but also a little nervous. I am very grateful to the Lord that this baby is doing great!! The jellybean was moving all around - waving an arm, kicking a leg, etc. The unique thing for me was this was the FIRST pregnancy ultrasound I've had where the baby's head wasn't facing down! Nadia's head was facing down every single time - all the way from 8 weeks to 36 weeks. During the previous ultrasounds, the jellybean's head has been facing down as well. I'm used to seeing the head on the right and the feet on the left. They weighed me today (just for an u/s appt?), and I gained 1/2 lb in the last 3 weeks. I hadn't weighed myself the last 2 weeks so frankly I was relieved. Since my pre-pg weight was a little higher this time around, I am 5 lbs above where I was at my 13w appt with Nadia. Thankfully this appt went MUCH faster than the last one. We were in and out of the doctor's office within about 25 minutes. Whew... Now I hope my appt on Friday goes that smoothly since I'll have Nadia (and Paul won't also be there like he was today). I wish they could have scheduled both appts to be back to back (with the midwife and the u/s), but when I was there 3 weeks ago they said they couldn't.
