First Trimester Screen

We had our second ultrasound today for our first trimester screen! I was so nervous so I started crying right away when we saw the baby and it was moving! It's an active little one and it was sooo cute!!! It was sucking it's thumb!!! The doctor said the measurement was excellent and we should have the results of the blood test within a week. I'm not nervous for that though! We felt very relieved and reassured when we saw the baby and they told us that it looks great! The countdown is now on till our next ultrasound on August 14! It will be with the perinatologist as well just because we're at a slightly elevated risk. I don't mind though because they will do the diagnostic ultrasound 2 weeks before our OB will! We will find out the sex of the baby then! The tech today told us that if she had to bet on it, she thought it looked like a boy!!! We won't start shopping until after the next ultrasound when they can tell for sure! I've been dreaming about a boy and the old pendulum-over-the-belly trick said boy too! Only 4 more weeks until we know for sure! It really doesn't matter- it was just so amazing to see our little one has grown and is doing well! Today it is 2.6 inches from crown to rump and measuring right on schedule. It's so crazy that this little face we're seeing is so tiny! Still working on the belly bump- not much to see from the outside! He/it is very active though- too bad I can't feel any little flutters yet! Check out the last picture- it says "1st Footprint"! If you double click the photos they will get bigger!

We're having a really great time with Ali and Joe and their family... I will blog about that tomorrow! I haven't gone through the pictures that we've been taking yet. This is our last night with them. We're going to grill and Kalah is going to come stay the night too!
