First Trimester Screen

As we can't go more than a few days without a doctor's visit, we went to the maternal and fetal medicine specialists last week for what is known as the First Trimester Screen. This is a fairly new (noninvasive) test that combines a blood screening test with an ultrasound evaluation to identify risk for specific chromosomal abnormalities. While we haven't got any official results, the doctor said that everythng looked great on the ultrasound. As the evaluation takes a fair amount of time, we got plenty of good pictures of baby Miller.
I've pasted the best ones below...


Legs (Although I wouldn't have known this if they didn't label it!)
Arm (Again, don't think I would have picked this out!)

Head (probably would have gotten that one...)

Everything else is going pretty well in the Miller household. Steve is almost healed and my cold is slowly going away. I went to the doctor today to see if there was anything to do about the asthma that has cropped up since I got pregnant and he gave me some new medicine. Hopefully we'll be in good shape by Christmas!
