12 Weeks NT Scan

The baby looks so long, but really it's only 2 inches! It's the size of a plum this week. However, it was great appointment. I am looking forward to the good news of everything is fine next week, and they I can tell my students! The ultrasound tech saw a nasal bone which is a good sign, and the fluid behind the neck measured 1.3mm when the key number there is less than 3mm, so that's great! The heartbeat was 154 this time.

She took a lot of pictures, so some of you may be looking at these thinking, what is that??...I have to agree! This first one is really obscure, it's feet, but really I just wanted her to check to see if she could tell what was between the legs! She didn't...I wonder if I'm going to end up in Summerville getting an extra u/s before going to Kim's in a few weeks...



That's a head and profile if you can't tell!
I still feel pretty good. I'm not exercising like Will would prefer, but I started a class that I've enjoyed in the past last Tuesday. I ride my bike around the neighborhood, maybe twice a week, but for literally 10 minutes. :-/

I have been to look at hell, I mean daycare. It looks like I get to pick the one that sucks the least. My favorite doesn't open until 7:45am, so that doesn't really work. I am so critical especially if they show me the rest of their program...I really don't need to see a 4 year old room promise, I will criticize it like crazy in my mind and strike them off the list.

Tomorrow I will be 13 weeks, so that means 2nd trimester! The baby will be the size of a peach. When we get good results next week, I will make cupcakes with a little help from my friend Yassi and give them to the girls with baby bottle sweet tarts inside as a surprise.

  2. Jaimie, we won't really find out until May 30th. That's when we have the scheduled ultrasound for the gender, but we have talked about going to a place in Summerville that does early gender ultrasounds. It's not 100% (none really are) but the doctor said that she hasn't known them to be wrong. So that might actually happen around the 25th.
