ninja baby!

well we had our appointment yesterday..and got to see baby!

FHR 161

Measuring 13 weeks 3 days (as of 10/6/11)

Everything looks great!! I actually lost weight (SHOCKING) but they werent worried about it since baby is growing as he/she should be! My next appointment is Nov 3rd (no ultrasound, boo).

I can't even explain the feeling of seeing our baby. he/she was sleeping so the ultra sound tech had to wake 'em up lol. then baby stretched out their legs and did kind of a kick punch combo! it was so cool! we couldnt get a great picture, because baby was standing on their head with their back to us lol. stubborn little thing! i seriously couldn't take my eyes off the screen, it was just amazing. it made it so much more real for me. it gets me all choked up thinking about it now :)

This picture is of the baby's back/spine!

this one is of the whole body. the head is in the right lower corner, then torso and legs at the top left :)

coolest thing EVER. was hoping for a better picture but I'm happy we got one at all! Its amazing how just 5 weeks ago it was just a little flutter on the screen, and now its...a baby!

I also found out I wouldn't have my anatomy scan at the Doctor until sometime in December...WHAT!? No good lol, we are way too impatient for that! SO we're going to Stork Vision in ATL on Oct 29th to find out the gender! I AM SO EXCITED!!! We can have as many people as we want so I invited the parents, siblings, and my grandparents. 3 weeks, probably gonna go by SO SLOW lol but it'll be worth it. I cannot wait!!

what are your guesses on gender? most were saying boy with only a couple girl...now a lot are saying girl! joey is still sticking to boy though LOL - i have ZERO clue, no gut feeling either way!

so overall : great appointment, amazing experience, and so excited for the end of the month to find out gender!
