Had NT u/s today

It was great to see my little bean again. Once again, the baby was quite an active one. The tech said everything looked good. I had the blood test too and I am not sure when to expect the results. I am going to call my OB early next week to see. The nuchal fold measured 1.3mm which I have read is really good. I will be 12 weeks tomorrow and really feel like I have made it this time and will be bringing home a new sibling for my two sons in mid-August! The HR was 167 and the baby is measuring 5 days ahead. They aren't chaning my due date. I know that I didn't O 5 days before I thought I did. My kids always run bigger for some reason.

You know, I have never done that kind of testing in the past. I have two boys and declined the triple test that was offered (the NT test wasn't offered widely when I was pregnant with them). I decided to do it because I had two m/c's last year and an RE determined that they were likely chromosomal problems that caused them. Given that history and the fact I am 36, I decided to do it. We were not using it as a tool to decide if we would terminate the pregnancy, that is out of the question for us, we just wanted know ahead of time if there may be some challenges with our baby. Also, I am not willing to do an amnio so this was the next best option.
