14 WEEKS | BABY IS THE SIZE OF A LEMON | 3.4 INCHES & 1.5 OZ

It sure feels nice to finally share with everyone our very big news! We told our friends and extended family on Thanksgiving, after our NT scan appointment, earlier in the week. I can't wait to keep updating everyone and sharing the exciting things going on.

THIS WEEK.....baby is making pee-pee (woohoo), breathing (fluid), it's liver, kidneys and spleen are still developing and our little monkey is growing soft hair all over it's body....just like a real monkey. LOL

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: Sleeping great, although I did notice I am getting up between 3 and 4 for about 20 minutes and then falling back asleep. Still feel like I need about 3 naps during the day.

13 Weeks - Our Perfect Peach

November 23, 2012

13 WEEKS | BABY IS THE SIZE OF A PEACH | 2.9 INCHES & 0.81 OZ

So I am 13 weeks along now but we decided to wait until after the NT (Nuchal Translucency) Screening this week to spill the beans to the rest of our friends and family. The suspense has been killing us (to tell people freely)!! It will be nice to just tell people. I feel like a hibernating bear or a Vampire that can't go out in sunlight!!

For anyone wondering, the NT is a high resolution ultrasound that measures the space in the tissue in the baby's neck as well as checking for presence of a nasal bone. Most babies with Down's Syndrome lack a nasal bone. Babies with abnormalities tend to have more fluid built up in the back of their neck creating the clear space to be larger. For a full description of what this scan is about see Babycenter.Our results for the NT came back average and baby seems okay!! YAY!! Our Little One was squirming around, moving it's arms and legs and even sucked it's thumb (which we got a great pic of).Now when we go back to the doctor in two weeks we will see if we need more testing (since I'm OLD!!!!).

Apparently, this week baby's vocal chords are forming...oh how I hope they aren't exercised too too much! At the same time, I can't wait to hear that cry. Baby also has fingerprints now, how crazy! I can't wait to hold those tiny hands!!
