Technology is AMAZING!

Update to the first trimester scan ...

We got the bloodwork results today. You are given a number to call, and have a patient code to enter ... so of course I have called obsessively this week. Patrick and I called at lunch together today with it on speaker and thought we would try one more time this evening, and surprise! The lady goes through our results for the risks of Down Syndrome and Trisomy 13 and 18 - we are in a very low risk category; 1 in greater than 10,000. So, we have a very healthy baby! Another part of the testing is gender - I have no idea how this works, but according to my OB this is one of the only places in the country with this technology. It is 99% accurate, and Dr. Winkelmann says they have never given one of her patients the incorrect result. So, at the end of the results the lady says,

"Congratulations, you are having a little BOY !"

Turns out Will was right ... and I had a pretty good feeling too. So, it will be me and house full of boys. We are all so excited!
