12 weeks + 3 days

Today, I bring great news and more pictures!!  We had our first trimester screening done with what they call the NT ultrasound.  It measures the fluid in the baby's spine & looks very closely at all of the organs.  Everything looked very good and the baby has grown very big!  It measures a week taller/longer than the statistics say it should be, so we might have a big one on our hands!  (Considering the genes in my family, I'm really not surprised!)

(Don't worry if you can't make heads or tails (or butts) of the pictures. We're just excited to see there is a quickly growing baby in there. It was so cute seeing it move around with it's hands and feet.  We're in love!)

We are off to Costa Rica tonight!!  We're actually in the airport as I write this!  We are relieved to be in through our 1st trimester and happily into the 2nd.  We figure a vacation in paradise will suit the celebration quite nicely!

We send our love!
