Check me out!

Today we had our first trimester screening at 13 weeks and 2 days.

During this ultrasound they measure the skin on the back of the baby's neck to make sure it is under 3 cm's. Baby Schreibman measured at 1.6! They also do a finger prick for blood and will send that off to make sure the baby is healthy.

We had quite an active baby this morning. Baby Schreibman was waving at us like he/she was on the red carpet! We got some fantastic photos from the U/S.

Philip really wants a boy.... I have no preference. Once the tech found out that he wanted a boy she kept going back to check and see. It truly is too early for her to tell. She said what is there could be a swollen female part of a male part but either way we need to mentally wait until Dec 29th for our next appointment at 17 weeks to truly get a good idea of our baby's true identity.

I am sure Philip will have everyone convinced our baby is a boy before the end of this year....

YAY for a healthy and growing baby and NO WEIGHT GAIN (for now at least hahah) !
