16 Week Check Up

I had my 16 week check up this morning. Bitty's heart beat was at 148. At 16 weeks, Ellery's heart rate was 155. I wonder if this Bitty is a boy! Dr. Gautreau and I discussed the Quad Screen which is performed at 16 weeks. I decided not to do it, just as I didn't do it with Ellery. The chances of a false positive are very high. I am already a worrier. I do not need to worry about the what-ifs. Besides, the results would not change anything. We will just depend on the anatomic sonogram to measure Bitty's growth and development, ventricles and soft tissue and alert the doctor to anything abnormal. Besides it is all in God's hands! Our anatomic sonogram is scheduled for January 8, 2015!
