Anatomy Scan

On Thursday, December 22nd we went for our anatomy scan. At this ultrasound, they basically measure all the bones in the baby's body as well as check the brain, heart, stomach, kidneys and placenta. This was a fantastic ultrasound! We were in a larger room than our last visit and were able to watch the whole thing on a large TV screen as opposed to the tiny screen we saw Squirt on last time. We also got to find out the sex of our baby!!! We chose to keep the gender a secret by asking the tech to write the gender of the baby inside a card along with any identifying pictures. We kept the envelope sealed, and hidden (from Col) until Christmas morning. When we opened the envelope we were delighted to learn we are having a baby girl this May! Here are a few pictures from our scan including a profile, a tiny 3cm foot and a thumbs up from our little girl!

Appointment

Thursday we had a regular checkup for 16 weeks. We're early so we were 15 weeks and 5 days. It was a quick and easy appointment. Col went with her dad since the doctor is only two blocks from his office and Dave doesn't need to take a half day for that quick an appointment. All seems good. Col is gaining weight and we got to hear the heartbeat! :)
