We got to see you today!!! You're perfectly healthy, with a strong heartbeat of 159. We're also a little farther along than I thought we were, at 8 weeks and 2 days. The sonographer put your due date at March 27, 2016.
There you are! You're so tiny right now, just the size of a raspberry. I'll admit, I started crying when I saw your heart beating on the screen. I was so scared that something was wrong because I haven't been sick at all, and then to see you healthy and safe...my mommy heart swelled and I lost control. Daddy held my hand and we both just thanked our lucky stars for another healthy, perfect little baby. We are SO excited to be your parents, and already can't wait to meet you.
Dr. Shipman also told us about a new blood test that just came on the market within the last year. It's called Verifi, and will replace the 13 week nuchal translucency scan because it tests our blood for any potential problems. And, an added bonus...we get to find out gender super early, too! We should know by September 15th if you're a little girl or a little boy!!!! Have I told you yet how excited we are that you're on your way??
With so much love,
