Out of my first Trimester...phew!! AWESOME Sonogram Video!!!

First Trimester...CHECK!!

We had a really great appointment yesterday. They tested for Downs Syndrome, and the nurse said that the back of the neck looked great so far. They took some of my blood too to do the rest of the testing to make sure I don't carry the gene. I have an OB visit on the 19th with Dr Rodriguez (another doc in the practice) and I'm sure they'll let me know if there were any problems then.

When we went in for the sonogram, I had a VERY full bladder thinking that I was going to have to give a urine sample, like all other times. When they brought us back, she said I didn't have to give a sample, so I asked if I could use the restroom really fast, she was all excited that I had a full bladder because apparently it pushes the baby up higher and its easier to see on the video. But she didn't understand...I had an EXTREMELY full bladder. She wanted to see what she could get and give it a try. After about a minute or two, I let her know that if she pushed on my stomach anymore, she was going to have a mess all over her table. I REALLY had to go!!! haha. So after I used the restroom, I was back in business. Once we got it back on, the baby started waking up and was moving a little more...it ended up getting hiccups and was bouncing all over the place. It was SOO neat!! I couldn't believe it! We were in utter awe...such a priceless moment.

So make sure you have a good 4 minutes, and watch the video...its well worth the time!!
We should find out the sex of the baby in about a month...I should get that appointment date on the 19th...can't wait!!!!
