Our latest doctor's appointment was Friday, April 15th, at 3:30PM. Baby Yellow, aka Peanut, is the size of a plum this week. Next week(13 weeks) baby will be the size of a peach!
We had our sonogram first, and we got to hear the heartbeat at 167. If old wives' tales are to be believed, we might just be having a little girl(fast heartbeat). Baby was sleeping at first and didn't want to wake up. Definitely my child :) With a little encouragement, baby woke up and started moving around! It was so incredible to watch. You could see it's spine, arms, hands, and legs, looking like a little person!
This week they were measuring the length of the baby, right on the mark at 12 weeks and 4 days, and looking to see if baby's nose bone is developed(an early indication of down syndrome). Baby looks fantastic and after a blood test(to test for down syndrome and a few other chromosomal abnormalities) we were good to go!
Our next appointment is on May 13th at 3:45PM and.....we had the option of doing the gender sonogram! We've already scheduled it, so next post we'll announce if we've having a boy or girl! Either way, he/she will be soooooo incredibly loved, a Cowboy's and Mav's fan(I am bound by marriage to list Texas Rangers as well), and a soccer player(please see the first sono pic above where the baby is already kicking for evidence!). :)
We've officially announced that we're pregnant, thanks to everyone who kept our secret!

Whether our baby is a boy/girl I still maintain it should be pretty athletic. I see many types of games in our future :)
