Had NT scan this morning!
They told me that from what they see everything looks great with the baby!  Of course I have to wait for the blood results to go along with the ultrasound.
I am 11w3d and I found this online...
"An NT measurement of up to 2mm is normal at about 11 weeks, and up to about 2.8mm by 13 weeks and six days. The NT normally grows in proportion with your baby (Nicolaides et al 1999)."
My measurements were 0.8mm and 1.0mm so, so far it looks good!
 (knock on wood!)
It was so cool to see the baby again. My DH couldn't make it so I went by myself.  He hasn't seen the baby since I was 6w6d.
For the longest time the tech had a hard time getting the measurements at first because the baby was sleeping with it's hands right in front of it face so you couldn't see it's nose. She said you need a perfect profile shot to get accurate measurements. So, she "jiggled" my belly,  and got it to wake up and then it was moving all over. It was waving at us, kicking, etc. It was awesome!!! 
As far as the blood work, they took only enough blood from my arm to make 5 spots on a piece of paper to be mailed out for scanning and I'll get the results in about a week. So, I get my results while on vacation! I'm trying not to worry about it and hope I get good news on Monday!

Re: Had NT scan this morning!
Thanks everyone!
I just wish it didn't take so long to get the results. Maybe I'll get them sooner! My 12w appt. is Thursday afternoon so I doubt I'll have them by then.
Good luck to you guys with yours! It's so cool to see all of the details of the baby. I even got to see the 2 hemispheres of the brain, all the bones, fingers, toes, etc. You're going to love it!
