We had our nuchal today. The skin fold was 1.57 mm, which is a normal measurement. They also took some blood, but the results of that ( Ultrascreen ) will be back in 7 days.
Berry was uncooperative and obstinate. As I recall, Quinn was very similar. This was fine with us because we got more camera time. S/he also measured an entire week older than s/he is - 13 weeks, 5 days. The tech said that wasn't a problem.
The pics that they printed were ridiculous. Absolutely terrible. There were several nice profile views with nose and mouth visible. There was one time when Berry was definitely nibbling on his or her fingers. What did we get? Random limbs. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy that the limbs are there, but when you take an US pics to work, you don't want to say, "Here's a picture of one of the baby's arms. Nope, I don't know which one."
Cute, huh?

Here is a decapitated view with fingers.

Even though the pics are bad, I had to share them because I'm just so excited that the little one is still in there and apparently doing well.

You would think there would be some technological advances in ultrasound photography.
