13 Weeks

Today was our 13 week appt. and we were very excited! Ryan and I met for a quick lunch before our appt. and then we went in for our ultrasound. This time the baby was much more active than before. We saw him moving his legs and arms he flipped a couple of times, and it even looked like he was sucking on his thumb for a little bit. They took measurements for the back of its neck to make sure there aren't any developmental issues and everything looked great!!! They baby is measuring just under 2 1/2 inches in length! It seems so small, but the Dr. said that I will soon be able to feel it move! I can't wait for that! The heartbeat was coming in at 156 beats per minute which was really strong. So far, everything looks really good and we couldn't be happier! I've been feeling pretty good, still have moments when I get sick, but they are fewer than before. I bought my first Bella band this weekend when I was with my mom and Alisa, anticipating my work pants aren't going to be comfortable for too much longer. We have our next appointment Sept. 29th and then on Oct 10 we will find out the sex at an ultrasound with Jay and Alisa (my brother and sister-in-law). We have our 20 week appt. with our Dr. to confirm the sex of the baby 2 weeks later!!! That will be sooo much fun!! I think we are both having boys, but we'll just have to wait and see!
