Today's Doctor Appointment

Today Mark and I had first appointment with North Texas Perinatal Associates. Dr. R was fabulous! He was so nice and took his time answering questions and checking out our baby. This ultrasound of our baby was for some genetic testing. They measure the back of the baby's neck and everything looks WONDERFUL! Mark and I were so happy to hear the good news. We were also able to see so much more of the baby including the arms, fingers, legs and even the nose. Our baby was jumping around the whole time is was so cool!! They even gave us a video of the ultrasound which we are uploading right now. We hope to have it up later this afternoon so you will have to check back!

We also asked the doctor to guess at the sex and he said I can't go out shopping yet but he was 98% sure it is a little GIRL!!! We could not be more thrilled!!! We have so many friends with little girls that we are excited to add another playmate!! Our little girl will be lucky to have such great friends! Plus, the way the Dad's look at their little girls is amazing, I know that Mark is going be wrapped around her little finger!! We get another look at her in five weeks so we will have him double check before I finalize the nursery colors. ;)

We feel so blessed that everything looked so good this morning and that our baby is growing very well! It is amazing how much the little one has grown in just a few weeks. I know this means I will soon be growing too.

We are now off to lunch with all the Grandmothers-to-be to share the good news and celebrate with them!!

We hope you have enjoyed reading a little bit about the last few months of our lives. Please check back as we update throughout the pregnancy... and don't forget to leave us a note that you were here!!
