Baby Pictures!

Now that we are sharing our good news, I can properly introduce you to the peanut!

We are considered "high risk," and although that sounds scary, it actually means we get to see the baby a LOT!   In the most amazing gift EVER, we actually saw the little one's heartbeat at 6 weeks. 

We got to say hello again around 8 weeks,

The peanut at 8 weeks - September 10th. Heart rate = 168

and then on Friday, the little one was waving to us!

12 weeks, 2 days; measuring 12 weeks 6 days.  Heart rate = 161

Baby Hild was really moving at the doctor’s office at our appointment on Friday!  The sonographer (who we love!) took tons of pictures and said she could tell if baby was a boy or girl but since the stubborn little one had crossed legs, she wouldn’t say. (Plus she said it was too early for them to technically be able to tell, so she couldn’t.)  So, our next ultrasound isn’t for eight weeks, and that’s when they will (hopefully) be able to determine gender! 

In the meantime, we took a gender prediction test, and it said BOY! 

Taken on Wednesday, October 3rd: 12 weeks!

 I think it would be wonderful for Beckett to have a little brother.  They would have such fun when they were little and I can imagine them being such great friends when they grow up!  If baby is a boy, we might have them share a room while they are young.  My sister and I shared a room for years, and although there were lots of fights over clothes, there were also lots of late nights laughing, talking, and becoming very close.  I think it would be good for them.

Of course, we will be very happy with a boy or a girl, we just pray the little one is healthy and happy! In the meantime, we are really enjoying this special gift...and all the pictures!
