January 9th
Today was the last scan as a follow up to the thickened nuchal fold. (It has a more medical term but it is never understandable when the doctors say it.) I was under the impression that I would have noticed when the baby moved to the head down position but guess I was wrong. One of the first things that the tech pointed out was that she was head down.

Follow-up #3

November 21st - Fetal Echocardiogram at Herma Heart Center, Children's Hospital
One of the major concerns from the thickened nuchal fold was that it could have been caused by an abnormality in her heart. Her heart had been checked at the previous two appointments but it was required (with an abnormal NT scan) that a scan be done by a heart doctor. Thankfully the previous ultrasound tech had warned me that, unlike herself, the doctor that would do the echo scan would not talk during the ultrasound.

Follow-up #2 (19 weeks)
Appointment #2 - November 14th
Another scan - this time closer to home in the hospital that my clinic and doctor are in.
Everything went great once again. All organs look normal and are developing the way they should be. The tech was really nice and explained everything she was looking at as she was bringing it up on screen. She confirmed and showed us that the baby was a girl (which didn't need to be confirmed but Kevin had asked for confirmation).Friday, November 1, 2013

1st of 4 follow up appointments (15 weeks)
Our first follow up to the NT scan and CVS testing was October 16th.
At this scan they would be able to look at the baby's organ development and see if the thickened nuchal fold had been caused by organ abnormality. The Milwaukee doctor had requested that I come down by her for the next scan and if everything went well then I could see the perinatology doctors at the hospital that was closer to my house. It was also required that I meet with Barbara beforehand, something that typically was done before the NT scan but had been waved off since my scan had come with such urgency.
