Breathing a huge sigh of relief!!

We're back from our NT scan ultrasound and everything looked just great!! The baby is measuring just fine with a good strong heartbeat (160 bpm) and we got to hear it today for the first time! We also saw Stretch's arm waving around in there but otherwise, she/he was just chilling in there (must have been napping like mommy wanted to be!), so the Dr was able to see all kinds of stuff. The NT measurement was 1.1 and we wanted it between 1-3 so you can't get much better than that, and now we wait for blood results to come back to complete to test and that should be in about a week or less. The Dr. actually got a great between the legs shot and took a guess at the gender though he stressed that it's way too early to know for sure but he guessed........Girl!! I'm certainly not going to get my heart set on a girl just yet - we'll have to wait for the big u/s to know for sure and I haven't made that appt yet. I can't wait!! I'll post the u/s pics tonight when we get home.

I'm so excited and feel like I can finally start breathing easier and truly enjoy this time in our lives - woohoo!!!
