Good Day Sunshine

We had our NT scan this afternoon and things could not have gone better! We got to see our little munchkin swimming around in there, which was just awesome. S/he is really starting to look like a baby rather than a cute little blob. Our u/s tech was very nice and she pointed out a bunch of things. We got to see the spine, heart, brain, little footsies and hands. LO was kicking away in there, so that should be fun in a few more weeks! Before we started the scan, the tech was a little worried because we were going in so late. My doctor is going by my LMP which makes me 13w5d instead of going by my O date which makes me 13w3d. The tech said if LO measured too big they wouldn't be able to get an accurate reading for the NT. S/he was actually measuring ahead at 14w, but going by length we were still ok for the test. I'm still not sure how that worked out, but I'll take it. She also wasn't allowed to tell us the measurement, so we'll get those results with the b/w back in a week or so. When she took neck measurement I saw on the screen .7something, but that just seemed too small. I've read anything under 3 is good, but that the bigger they grow the bigger the measurment is. So, we'll just have to wait and see. For now, I'm just happy we got to see LO growing and kicking away! I'm so incredible grateful!

I guess I can't officially call myself in the 2nd tri now!

Here's our little munchkin!!

After our scan KJ and I went out to dinner to celebrate. We went to Olive Garden and had an amazing dinner. After Christmas KJ was on the search for a tablet and the one he wanted everyone was out of. Thanks to Google shopping, though, we found out Toys R Us sold it and still had some in stock (who knew they sold electronics like that??). When we went to but it we also found out they were running a special, buy any tablet over $250 and get a $50 gift card back. Awesome deal! So KJ got his tablet and I got $50 free! Anyways, after dinner we went to Toys R Us to use my gift card. So fun! I found a nice diaper bag, a towl and washcloth set, and a rattle. It felt so good to buy things and know that I'll actually get to use them in the near future. It was a wonderful day!

Oh and we also stopped at Old Navy and found another cute Christmas out fit on clearance.

Good day sunshine!

Lots of Love,
KJsbabe


PS. We have out anatomy scan scheduled for February 6!! It's hard to believe in a months time we'll be able to find out if LO is a boy or girl!
