2nd try at the NT

On Friday we went for a re-do at the nucheal translucency. Again, our lil' one wasn't cooperating, but the ultrasound tech sent what she had to the doctor and he seemed fine with the measurements. We also had blood work done, and they will either call or we will get the results at our next exam which is in a couple of weeks. The measurement was 1.8mm for the fluid in the neck, and anything under 3mm is good. With the blood work we should get what the chances are of the baby having trisomy 18 or downs syndrome. Of course Steven and I are well under the age where it becomes a concern, and we have no history in either family, so the doctors are not really concerned. We just went ahead and opted for the tests.
The ultrasound went really well. We enjoyed the time we got to spend with our lil' one, and we are pretty sure we got a good shot at what looks to be like little boy parts! The gender ultrasound is in a month, but I have felt all along that the baby is a he, so I am even more certain now! I guess we'll be certain in a month. Though I am pretty certain now :)! The heartbeat was 141 bpm and the baby was still measuring a couple days ahead.
The past couple of weeks have been good. I am still feeling good, and my waistline is starting to disappear. It still amazes me that I have only gained a few pounds total, but nothing seems to fit! But it'll all be worth it, and I am already looking forward to running again come September. (I'm no fool- I'm pretty sure I won't be hitting the pavement in August).
Steven and I also made another baby purchase. We decided to go ahead and buy a rocker recliner for our late nights with the baby. We figured that would be a little more comfortable than just a wooden rocker, plus it will be nice to have in the living room. It's already the most comfortable seat in the house.
