The Romeros

December 30- 12 weeks


Today we went for our First Trimester Screening! The ultrasound technician proved to be very patient, as baby Romero was refusing to get into the proper position for measurement! Upside down and sleeping was just not going to do!! I had to stand up and do toe-touches in hopes that the baby would turn right side up. When that didn't work, I had to go for a 15 minute walk and snack to see if baby would start to cooperate. That did the trick! After an hour of acrobatics on the table, we were able to get the information we needed! Baby Romero was kicking and moving both legs and arms. The results of that appointment were wonderful; 1:9,000 chance of Down Syndrome and 1:7,000 of Trisomy 17 and 18. Our little love is looking healthy and strong!

Baby Romero's First Photo!!


With much anticipation we went to see our OB today!! After the introductions we waited with anxious hearts for her to pull in the sonogram machine. Then, much to our surprise she announced that the office doesn't do ultrasounds on the first visit. Really? REALLY!!?? Mike sat patiently while I burst into tears, devastated that we would not get to see our little peanut! With understanding (or maybe pity) the doctor agreed to do one on her lunch hour. Thus, the beautiful picture of our 9 week baby...
