Week 12 Update

We went to the doctor's office today for the 1st trimester screening (a test that determines the odds of the baby having a number of different chromosomal issues). The test is an ultrasound and some bloodwork. Everything looked great on the ultrasound. Baby was sleeping at first, but after some prodding was awake and moving around a lot. It was a long ultrasound so we had a lot of time to see various parts of the baby and all looks good! Heartbeat was 155 today. We will get the results of the bloodwork at the end of the week.

Here are a couple photos from today's ultrasound:

Not Ready for Winter!

This post is primarily for our friends and family in Texas (and other warmer climates) who don't have to deal with snow, especially in November! Looks like winter has arrived in Minneapolis...here is a picture of our backyard this morning. Brrr!!
