So it's not time to make lemonade - that just the size of Baby Dojnik! About 3 inches and weighs just about 1.5 ounces. I am not feeling anything just yet, except for some growing pains here and there. I have popped just a bit and everyday brings something new!
Baby D can squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck herhe's thumb! When we went for our 12 week ultrasound it actually looked like (s)he was sucking its thumb already. We received good news that all blood test came back perfectly normal and that our chances of chromosomal abnormalities and down's syndrome are at 1:3581. So that let us rest easier for a healthy child and will hopefully avoid us having to do any amniocentesis testing later on.
It's my birthday today and a healthy baby growing inside is the best birthday present a gal could ask for! The outpouring of love I have already received from many of you has been over-whelming. I think I've cried tears of joy at least 4 times in the past few hours (damn hormones!). The birthday fun started with brunch at Murphy's yesterday (thanks Sheryl and Sue!) and will continue with a private dinner someplace new with Steve tonight. A fun group is headed to a Thrashers vs. Sabre's hockey game tomorrow eve and I think I'll finally have to try an O'Douls because what's hockey without beer?
To top off the birthday fun - Steve and I are heading to our dear friend's Kelly, Brian & Finn's cabin up in Blue Ridge this weekend. It was part of their wedding present to us (thanks Wilson family). We've got a day at the spa planned (couples massage, pedicures and facials for us both!) Steve doesn't know what he's in for (thanks Mom for the shower present - we're finally putting it to good use!)
