Update
We had our ultrasound today. Well, actually, we first met with the genetic counselor and then the ultrasound. We found out our odds of having a baby with spinal bifida is 1/10. So not good but still enough to scare the crap out of me. My AFP was 2.94. The perfect score is 1. However, the range for the test is 1 – 2.5. So I am high, but not too bad. We are not 100% in the clear, but the ultrasound is 95 – 98 % accurate at detecting it. And they didn’t see anything. Woo hoo!!!! We have to go back in a month because they couldn’t get good pictures of the heart.
And we found out if it is a girl or a boy. 
Do you want to know? If not, don’t read any further: Its a girl!!!

Positive AFP Test
I just got a call from my doctor. I had a positive triple screen test. I am trying to stay calm. I keep reading that there is a high false positive rate. That does make me feel slightly better. However, I am still worried. I am already scheduled for an ultrasound on the 2nd of Feb. Now, after the ultrasound, we have to meet with a genetic counselor. Anybody else have this happen?
