On Tuesday, September 23rd we had an ultrasound done as part of the NT Scan. I was so excited for this appointment because from what i had read, the baby was actually going to look like "something" instead of a grain of rice.
We drove to St. Peter's University and had a very nice lady do my ultrasound. She even let us listen to the hear beat through the machine (which i didn't even know was possible. The hear beat this visit was 157 bpm.
She got some great shots for us (including 3D which i haven't scanned yet). Here is one for now:
12 weeks, 5 days

I also had blood work done which goes along with the measurements they got from the ultrasound. I have to go back between weeks 16 and 18 for another round of blood work as well, as part of the same test. This is the down syndrome test that we chose to do, as i didn't want an amnio done.
After the ultrasound, Nathan and i split up the pictures (we got about 8 in total!) and headed off to work to finally share the wonderful and exciting news with our co-workers.
We've also decided we're going to try and leave the gender a surprise. As i told Katie B. and many other friends - it's one of the only surprises in life that we won't be disappointed with. I hope we can stick to our guns!
