19 Weeks

Everything is going great with the baby! I felt him move a lot last night after I ate a bowl of frozen yogurt. I guess he liked it! We are working on the nursery slowly, but surely. When we get the floors in we'll post some pictures. For now, here is a 19 week picture of my growing belly. It's crazy to think I'm almost half way and I'm going to get MUCH bigger.

IT"S A BOY

I know it's been a while since I posted, but there wasn't much going on until now. A couple weeks ago I decided to get bloodwork done that screened for Down Syndrome, Trisomy 18, and neural tube defects. The screen came back with a positive possibility for Down Syndrome. We had an appointment with a specialist yesterday to get a level 2 ultrasound done. This ultrasound is done by a fetal medicine doctor who goes over ever inch of the baby including the brain and organs. Everything looked perfect and all the measurements were normal. The doctor said he saw no markers for Downs and the baby should be healthy. The ultrasound is not a 100% conclusive, but the doctor seemed pretty confident everything was normal. On top of finding out we have a healthy baby we also found out it's a boy! I was hoping for a girl, but now that I know it's a boy I'm so excited and in love. Since I found out I was pregnant I was so excited that we're having a baby, but now it's so real since we were able to see him and I have started feeling him move a little. I just love him so much already that I can't imagine what it will be like when he's actually here. We like the name Nolan Steven, but who knows if I will change my mind within the next few months. Here are the ultrasound pics.
