We had our 21 week anatomy scan on Friday. We are officially considered normal!! Yay! The sonographer spent about 20-30 minutes taking measurements and explaining what they look for. As she took each measurement, she told us again and again that things looked good and were measuring completely normal. When she was done, the doctor came in and repeated everything. He pronounced this baby "perfect."
Even though we had had several good appointments, the doctors were waiting for this specific scan before they were willing to say that we are out of the woods. Because everything looked so good, they now consider this pregnancy normal.
We will continue to be monitored a little more closely than an average patient, but at this time, they have no concerns about the rest of the pregnancy. There are obviously things that they still look out for and things that can develop along the way. But, in regards to our history and our first two pregnancies/stillbirths, they have no concerns.
Kara goes back in 2 weeks for a routine prenatal visit- BP, heartbeat check, etc. And then we will do another level II ultrasound 3 weeks after that to confirm that things still look good.
I think we can officially begin enjoying this pregnancy :-) And start coming to terms with the fact that we will likely be bringing a baby boy home with us this summer!
We can't thank you enough for all of the prayers and positive thoughts that everyone has been sending our way. We are so grateful! We are so lucky to have so many people everywhere rooting for us and sending us their support. Thank you!!
