A little look at a little someone special

13 weeks has quickly come upon us. We went for our next appointment today. I told Andrew I wasn't a big fan of our appointments being on Mondays because I get so excited for the appointment, then feel like I have nothing else to look forward to the rest of the week:) but it's all good.

We had a test done to look at the fluid behind the baby's neck to make sure everything is normal for chromosomes...the number they measured was normal, now we just wait for blood work, between the two they confirm. We should hear back in a week or two.

Also, everything is good, Iron, Blood Pressure, etc is good. Heart beat was at 153 and the baby is measuring about 3.5 inches right now!! Everything is normal:)

Today we had another ultrasound.Baby Oliver looks so much bigger, it was awesome, and he or she was moving and kicking and putting his/her hand near his/her face. It was super cute!!! Can't wait to see him/her again.

Speaking of...our next appointment was supposed to be in June, about 4 weeks away, close to the gender ultrasound...and since we are going to the beach at the very end of June/beginning of July, we asked if we could have the appointment a little earlier than 20 weeks. Our doctor said as long as it was 18 weeks, so we are going on June 25th for the next appointment, where they will draw blood and test to find out info on the baby's spine...along with finding out the Gender!!! Yippeee:) Ms. Mindy suggested if we knew the gender before going to the beach, we'd be able to shop for the baby, so looks like her idea worked!!

We have a few friends who are very excited and want to have a gender reveal party for us ..so it'll be after June 25th but before June 29th!!

 Here's a look at Baby Oliver at 13 weeks 2 days!!
