So. Nuchal Translucency Scan day today. Appointment was at 9.30am, got the results at 3pm. 1:908 chance of Trisomy 21 (Down’s Syndrome), and 1:2795 chance of Trisomy 13 and 18 (someone else’s syndromes). I also had another blood test (only 2 litres this time), and the results of that test may or may not change those numbers. If the numbers don’t indicate an increased risk, then I don’t think we’ll have any further tests.
Got some more pictures of &, but won’t scan them for the blog because ultrasound pictures are boring.
Instead, I bring you my St Vinnies purchases for today.
First, a hand knit and handspun child’s jumper with koalas. $3. I hope the talented knitter who made this knows that the jumper is loved again.
Secondly, since I decided that now would be an appropriate time to start bonding with the invader (because, after all, mothers day is coming up), so I bought Volume 1 and 2 of “Mother Love” – stories about births, babies, and beyond. A welcome change to the pregnancy books. $1 each.
I also bought a 1970’s book of animals with loads of colour pictures. Because if this kid has any future mapped out already, it’s a future as an animal lover. $3. $8 all up.
And speaking of animals, her is a picture of our newest family member, in her new house.
I also popped in to Cherryhills today for the S’nB, and met Grandma Flea. She is even lovelier than I expected (and I had pretty high expectations), and she makes a fabulous lemon cake. Yum! Purchases were made (no yarn, baby pattern books), pictures to come later.

What a very cool jumper find. I need to do a wardrobe overhaul (too many things in my closet with holes in them, or stains on them, or only fit me when I was 21) and am ruminating about whether to do my usual troll of Paddy’s markets or whether I should check out some op shops nearby. I’m assuming you got that from a Vinnie’s out your way?
