As mentioned, Dr. Chen referred us to Genetic Counseling, and today we had our first appointment. Based on our past experience with Addison, the one good thing about going to Genetic Counseling, is the high-quality ultrasound that we get to do during our visits. And based on all the souvenirs we have received, it looks like it was well worth it.
When we first arrived at the doctor’s office, we thought we were going to go straight into the scanning room. But instead, we were called into the actual office to sit down with the counselor for some in-depth interview. We were then explained on the most common genetic-related issues, and the risk factors that we are facing, based on our age. Once the interview is completed, we were transferred to the exam room for ultrasound.
And not only do we have pictures, we have videos too!
And the baby voice you heard from the video came from Addison, and not from inside the tummy. I had Addison in one arm, while holding the camera on the other hand, so the picture was a bit shaky.
After the ultrasounds, Amy drew blood for further tests, and we’ll find out the results in about a week’s time.
