Finally I have something exciting to post! The past 5 weeks have been pretty uneventful other than being sick. Just when I thought I was starting to ditch the morning (all day) sickness, I get an awful head cold. There's nothing worse than feeling sick from having a growing baby inside of me AND having a stuffy head and not being able to breathe.
Anyway, on Wednesday Craig and I went for the Nuchal Translucency testing for the baby. They tested for Down's syndrome, Trisomy 13 and Trisomy 18. It was so much fun for Craig to be able to see our little baby for the first time. I don't think he expected to be able to see a little baby moving around in there with 10 fingers and 10 toes. S/he was trying to suck his thumb a couple of times then gave us a couple of waves then snuggled up and fell asleep. I so wish I could get the ultrasound pictures scanned on to the computer but I lack a scanner :( The nuchal fold on the back of the neck and the nasal bone measured right on track which gave us a pretty good idea that the baby is completely healthy. It was such a fun day. I love looking at the sonogram pictures, it's so different than the blob I saw on the screen at 7 weeks.
So, I've started to be a stay at home wife and I love it!! Because I've been so sick, my doctor suggested that I take time off from work and I was OK with that!! She signed a 3 month leave for me and I am sure I will take full advantage of that. I've met up with a couple of friends that I haven't seen in a while, spent some time with my nephews and most importantly, I've gotten the rest that I've been needing, especially with this darn head cold.
Craig has been working a lot of hours, which is nice since I'm not working anymore. He's such a hard worker and I love him for that. He starts work so early in the moning so he is home by 2 0r 3, which is so nice. He has taken such good care of me and never complains about me being too needy. He's already started to talk to my belly and try and persuade the babe to love him the most. He is going to be such an awesome Daddy.
We love you all and hope everyone is doing well.
