Quad Screen Results

For those of you who don't know what this test is here is a brief description:

The quad screen measures high and low levels of AFP, abnormal levels of hCG and estriol, and high levels of Inhibin-A. The results are combined with the mother's age and ethnicity in order to assess probabilities of potential genetic disorders.
High levels of AFP may suggest that the developing baby has a neural tube defect such as spina bifida or anencephaly. However, the most common reason for elevated AFP levels is inaccurate dating of the pregnancy.
Low levels of AFP and abnormal levels of hCG and estriol may indicate that the developing baby has Trisomy 21(Down syndrome), Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome) or another type of chromosome abnormality.

My Doctor's office called today and my test was NEGATIVE, which means that everything is fine! I am so happy, these sort of test make me nervous.

4 mth BaBy update...

Well my little baby is doing great! he/SHE is about 5inches long and heart beat is very good and strong 157bpm! I had to get blood drawn for the quad screen which made me very weak since i'm already anemic anyhow. I also had to get the Flu Shot and I swear my arm is worthless even today.....I had lost some weight, actually quite a bit, but it is normal and everything is fine!! Check this out...When I went to the desk to schedule my sonogram and next appt. thier was only ONE appt. left before Thanksgiving (which would be time for my check up) if I wouldn't have gotten that appt. I would have had to wait 6wks instead of 4wks!!! You all know I would have WIGGED out!! Anyway, Sonogram is scheduled for Tuesday, November 20, 2007!! (I will be 5mths) Keep your fingers and toes crossed that the little booger shows its goods off!

I haven't posted in a while, shame shame~!

I am so sorry I have not posted a blog in a while. Things have been so hectic! So I will fill you in a little on what has been going on with Mr. Kullen and the new little one. Kullen has started a school called Kidz-a-palooza. He hates it! He does have a little girlfriend named Presley. He told Miss Presley the other day that he was going to buy her some ear rings and matching shoes!! His favorite things to do are: go to wal-mart and buy a toy, play with his dog "Tuffy", watch Spongebob or any other cartoon on Nick, annoy Aunt Gretchen, and he always wants to go to Baby Kale's house because "he loves him and have never seen him" as he says. He has been getting a little attitude here lately, but I'm sure it is just a stage. We recently moved to my Dad's house in Maud, and he is super happy about it. I'm sure he and Pawpaw will have a blast together!

As far as the little one,

my second doctor's appointment went well. (3 months) I heard the baby's heartbeat via doppler 152bpm. My weight was perfect, blood pressure good the only thing is that I am anemic. Nothing that a horse pill looking vitamin taken every nite can't cure.

I will make sure to be posting things on here so that I can keep up with stuff and so can you! ;)
