It's a girl???

On Wednesday of last week, we went to see our regular doctor for bloodwork and to hear the heartbeat of our sweet baby! It was so incredible hearing that sound coming from MY body! WEIRD.

On Friday, we went to the perinatologist to do a prenatal screening to check for Down's syndrome and two other chromosomal abnormalities. This procedure was a breeze. All they had to do was prick my finger for some blood and do an ultrasound to measure the nuchal fold (back of baby's neck) to check for Down's. Dr. said everything looked perfectly healthy, and he asked us if we'd like to hear his guess on the sex of the baby. He has been doing this for years....but I'm only 13 weeks...so I know it's a VERY big guess at this point. However, he believes we're having a baby GIRL!!!!!!!! We are both thrilled to death with either sex, but I want a little girl first SOOO badly. Always have.

Anyway, here's the link to the ultrasound of our baby at 12 weeks 5 days.

You can see the baby swallowing, kicking, and hiccuping!
I'll post the few still pictures we have as well soon.
