12 Weeks and Counting!

So we have finally made it past 12 weeks! We had our 12 week ultrasound on Wednesday and everything looks great. The baby was wiggling around so much that the doctor actually started laughing as he pleaded for him/her to be still so that he could get a measurement. At 12 weeks, they do a Nuchal Translucency (NT) scan to assess whether or not the baby is likely to have Down's Syndrome, and our baby passed the test with flying colors.

Michael was most surprised to see a formed hand, with fingers waving at us! While I was most surprised to see that the baby had flipped around since our last scan. I guess it is just strange to have something inside of you tumbling around, yet you can't feel it.

After our ultrasound, we went to dinner and then walked through the mall. I told Michael that I wanted to buy something for the baby. Of course those of you who know us well would not be surprised to hear that we bought a cradle! Of course it was on sale and a really could deal. So let the buying frenzy begin!
