13 weeks - Pink or Blue?

I have made it through the first trimester!  I had a doctor's appt today.  Pretty routine stuff.  Got my flu shot.  My doctor found the baby's heartbeat (151 bpm) with the fetal doppler. I will not go back to see her until Jan 3.  That will be the longest time without seeing a doctor since before we started IVF.  I feel free!

At last week's 12 wk NT ultrasound, we found out the sex of our baby and it's a BOY!  We are revealing this tomorrow to my parents in person.  I have the little pics that point out his little package.
Now that I know that I am having a little boy, it seems alot more real to me.  We are already thinking of names and whether to circumcise or not.  We will have a good long time to ponder these things.

The nausea and fatigue seems to be lessening.  I am taking prenatal yoga classes 1x/week which is nice (I'm the smallest belly in the class).  It's great to be at the point that I feel good about sharing the news with people outside family and close friends, though I am not ready for a FB announcement and don't know if I ever will be.   I am in my cousin's wedding this weekend, so that should be alot of fun.  Lots of socializing, eating, and dancing to look forward to.

Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!

  2. Wow. You are so lucky you found out at 12 weeks! I knew it was possible but my doc didn't even want to look or guess during our NT scan so we found out at 16w at the follow-up anatomy scan. Congrats on your SON! And double congrats on 2nd tri!

  6. A boy!! Congratulations!! Last week when I was having so many issues, the dr was looking very carefully at everything and asked if we wanted to know the sex...YES! So he said he was fairly certain we are having a boy!! I can't wait to find out for sure - even though the dr seemed pretty confident, I am not going to buy blue stuff just yet!
