Had an appt with my Dr today, she had the results from a screening I had done a few weeks ago. I didn't understand all of the names and things she rattled off, but basically there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance that the baby could have major genetic problems. So YAY! We have been waiting to hear that and are very grateful that God seems to have given us a healthy child, so far.
Got to hear the heartbeat again, Luann said it was 155 which is perfect. And pretty much healthwise I am good, blood pressure and weight were both good, so just 25 weeks to go!
Only about 3 weeks more and we will know if it is a boy or a girl we are expecting! Lots of people have been talking about starting pools...not sure how I feel about that...
Probably won't have much to report until 3 weeks rolls by.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
We're having a baby!!!!

Here are pictures of our first two ultrasounds. (if for some reason you don't want to see pictures of my uterus I suggest you close the window...) The first was from last month, you can't see much other than a gray blob really...
This pic is from earlier in the week. You can see the head and can almost count the fingers on those tiny hands. Don't know if it is a boy or a girl yet, we should know that in a month or so. Yesterday marked the beginning of the second trimester, and since everything seems good we have been telling everyone our good news. This is probably the only thing I will want to post about for the next 6 months, its been hard for Nick and I to keep quiet for the first 3!!!
Our due date is May 15th, which seems very far away and yet too close because there is so much to do! I have not become obviously fat or round yet, keep waiting to wake up one day and have a "bump". My dr says I have about 7 weeks before that happens. Right now I am just happy and relieved that the morning sickness is lessening. The last two months have been rough. Most women gain weight easily when pregnant, I haven't gained much...
Lately my only problem has been feeling tired. I get home from work and want to do nothing but go right to bed. I'm hoping that will fade soon as well, because Christmas is coming and I have tons to do!
Well thats where we are. We are very happy, and are thanking God for this huge blessing in our lives. We know that this is a gift from Him and are going to trust He will bring us all safely through to the other side of the next 6 months.
"PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!!!!!!!!!"
