our second appointment

When he walked into the room, the first thing Dr. Nilson said was, "Do you want to know what it is?" "Yes!" we both said. "Any family bets?" he asked. I told him that I think it's a boy. "It looks like a girl," he said. He explained that he can usually tell the baby's gender with 80% accuracy at 11 weeks, 90% accuracy at 12 weeks, and almost 100% accuracy at 13 weeks. Since I am only 12 weeks, there is still a slight chance that the baby could be a boy. We should know with more certainty at our next appointment. He did tell us not to paint the room yet, but to start picking out girl names. Colby and I are both so excited to be having a baby girl!!

During the ultrasound, the baby was spinning, flipping, and moving around so much that I was afraid we wouldn't be able to get any good pictures. However, we got some great 3D pictures where you can see the baby's eyes, ears, arms, legs, fingers, and toes. It is so amazing to me that the baby is moving around so much and I still can't feel a thing!

Dr. Nilson says that everything looks great! I am 11 weeks and 5 days...almost through the first trimester! Our next appointment will be on February 9.
