2nd Trimester!!!

Well, I'm back from vacation in Disney World with MrKLB and the ILs and I'm happily in the second trimester now! I will be 13 weeks pregnant tomorrow!!!

Vacation was great.. we walked a lot and I did find myself getting tired, but it really wasn't that bad. I think if I had gone at 6+ months pregnant it would be a different story. I feel like I gained 10 pounds while I was gone, though, because we ate so much food!! Oh well.

So, today I went in for the NT Scan or "First Trimester Screening". This is a screening to determine your baby's odds for having chromosomal defects such as Down Syndrome or Trisomy 18 or 13. This involves an ultrasound as well as a blood test. We had the ultrasound today and everything looked great! We got to see the baby on the u/s for a long time and it was amazing! The baby was moving around a lot and we could see the face, arms, hands, fingers, legs, spine, ribs, heart, etc.! It was crazy! Anyway, we were happy to hear that everything looks good, and we'll get our odds for those defects when the blood results come back in a week or so.

Everything is going well and I'll meet my new OB, Dr. A, next Monday. I should have a chance to ask a lot of questions at that time and find out what is to come in my next few appointments. It's a very exciting time!
