We had the "big" ultrasound yesterday. Everything looks good! Our first trimester screening had shown a slightly increased risk for spina bifida because of an elevated AFP level. They didn't get a really fantastic view of the spine, but what they did say caused them to pretty much rule it out.
They also accidentally found what's probably been causing the (minor but worrisome) bleeding I'd had for a few weeks after surgery. There's an old hematoma near the placenta that my body's reabsorbing. This may also be what caused the high AFP. They want to do another scan in two weeks to keep an eye on it, but it's not concerning enough to put me on bedrest or restrict my travel.
Bit was shy and stubborn, so positioning was not optimal. Baby hands blocked good views of baby face, and Bit was snuggled in breech with his/her back against the wall. Stubborn kid.
