Woah baby!

The 12/13 week appointment was something I was greatly looking forward to, and slightly feared.  Too many loved ones had gone through miscarriages, so I feared the worst.  But, I went into that doctor's office and got to see a healthy and active baby!

Steven worked that morning, and tried to get out of there in time, but no luck.  So, when I went back for the ultrasound, I told the Nurse it didn't look like he would get there in time, so she popped in a DVD.  The greatest gift she could have given us, because he was not happy to have missed the appointment.

As soon as she got the wand over the little one, about the size of a peach (3 inches), I got to see a big stretch.  There were several kicks, and rolling over, and if the activity at 12-weeks is any indication, this baby really is going to be a soccer player!   The baby even sucked it's little-bitty thumb.  :)

Already sucking the thumb- just like Aunt Brittany used to!  :)

And kick up...

Now kick out...

And like I mentioned, we got a DVD so as soon as I got home Steven got to see it all too.  :)

So with my paranoia gone, I felt comfortable announcing to the world... which now-a-days means posting it on Facebook. 

Our next appointment is February 7th and I'm hoping we'll get to find out if it's a boy or a girl!
