One week closer to knowing what we are having - so exciting! We had the doctor appointment last Wednesday and we had our quad-screen test...so we should have results in two weeks. I hope everything is negative, but they warned us these have a high percentage of false-positive results. So, either way we get to know the sex of the baby in 3 weeks, but may have to go to a prenatal specialist for the ultra sound so they can see if there really is anything wrong. If all is good though, then we get to just go to the hospital and have the technician there do the ultra sound. Lots to worry about and the baby is only 18 weeks made! :) We also got to hear the heartbeat again...still going strong! The kicking and moving has become more consistent...the baby seems to love cold and sugar :) Two things I seem to have a lot of! The doctor said all looks good and he will see us in a month - on St. Patrick's Day :) I think that has to mean we are having a redhead...right?!
Well...I OFFICIALLY am showing now. No doubt about it...strangers comment and ask about the baby...it is fun/weird. I also already have the habit of touching my tummy all the time...so that might help them pick up on the preggers thing :) I can't help it...not used to that belly! I have a lot of energy back which is AWESOME! We did some major yard and house work this past weekend. Next weekend it is paint time...fun fun :) We also purchased our chair for the nursery this weekend...so fun!Great deal and it will be perfect...hopefully.
The baby this week is the size of a large baked potato...which is so cute to me for some reason. I think of Mr. Potato Head :) At this point, if it is a boy his genitals are in place and totally visible. If it is a girl, she has her uterus and fallopian tubes in place. So crazy...
So until then...we await the results of the tests and setting up THE BIG ultra sound appointment :) Can't wait to know!!!!
Love,
The Bales
