13 weeks - it's a shrimp!

Steve and I are getting familiar with our doctors - we were there for 3 hours this morning. They took 7 vials of blood and did some neck measurements for pre-screening of any chromosomal abnormalities. We were able to see all the main parts of our unborn - all limbs and digits were in place - you could even see both lobes of the brain, the heart, spine and bladder. It was all pretty cool to see. Since the skin is just beginning to form you are basically seeing right through the baby from the sonogram.

The nurse was kind enough to warm the lubricating gel and she had a great disposition. When the Dr. came in she said that so far everything looked "normal" to her and that all of the measurements were on point with where they should be. Our chances of a miscarriage are less than 5% now as we move into our 2nd trimester this week.

We also got to hear the rapid little beat of our babies heart - which was really amazing. HeShe was bumping and grooving inside (or maybe had the hiccups) but I still cannot feel a thing! So here's the latest profile shot we received today - who do you think HeShe looks like? It's waving hello to all it's new friends and family!
