Sonogram Day!

Sorry we haven't posted in a while. We are still trying to get the hang of this blogging think. We will try to do better. (Ok Melissa, does that make you feel better?)

Well we went in for an "official" sonogram yesterday. I say "official" because this one was actually done by a doctor, not Jennie playing around at work! It was fun because we got to go into the room with the big flat screen TV. The last couple of times we have gone in, that machine wasn't working, so we had to settle for the back up machine. It looked like we were headed for the back up machine again when, at the last second, Joe the sonographer changed his mind and took us to the big screen! It was awesome! He pointed out the four chamber heart, both kidneys, the spine, the rib cage, and confirmed that it was a girl... We got lots of cute pictures. She was putting her hand in her mouth again. We will try to put some up later.

After Elliott's debut on the big screen, we went in and talked to Dr. Livingston (He brought us cookies! The perks of being a VIP.). He answered all of our questions and talked to us about genetic testing. Basically, the sono looked perfect, but that only catches 65% of potential problems, so we have to get blood taken from Jennie to make sure everything else checks out. It is extremely more complicated than that, but that is the basic idea. It was very interesting. Jennie got her blood drawn and then it was off to Burger King to boost up that blood sugar! It was a fun day!
