Update for new baby (cont)

I completely forgot to mention that so far everything looks good with the baby. They obviously send us through these additional screens to watch and check for spina bifida. It is too early to rule anything out yet but so far the signs are good. They measure the back of the baby's spine thickness and we want to see under 3. We were at 1.8 so that was definitely positive. One more blood test at the end of the month and on 4/20 we use the lab results plus the second ultrasound we will do that day to attempt to rule it out for sure.
