18.5 Week checkup!

Gosh--it is so much fun going to the doctor for something good!
Adam and I went to Dr. Crider for the monthly checkup yesterday---the pep talks succeeded! Our appointment was right on time, the nurse found a vein right away and the baby let us hear a nice strong heartbeat! It is so amazing to hear our little one! Keep on growin'! You're doing great, baby!

Our next appointment is scheduled for Wed. Jan 4 where we will go over the myriad of test results as well as review the sonogram.

Speaking of sonogram, Dr. Crider wants us to get the "BIG ONE" done before the 16th...so, we have a 3:00 appt. on Wed. Dec. 14 (20.5 weeks) downstairs in the big U/S room. This will be about 40 minutes of 3D/4D sonogram (fetal measurements, sex, etc.) and then we'll have time if any other family or friend wants to come in and see the baby. BUT...since no one is here (besides our friends from school), they will give us a tape of the U/S and a CD of still pictures to share. We can bring the tape/DVD with us to Minnesota when we come for X-mas for those interested in viewing!

In the interest of the baby pool, we will NOT be sharing the sex of the baby until after the holidays...or until all picks come in...whichever comes first. This is, of course, completely dependant on whether we get a positive declaration of sex from the baby and ultrasound tech. We will not share if we are not completely sure.

Have a wonderful December! Stay warm!

Of course we'll bring the tape and pictures---copies of pics for the great aunties, grandparents and great-grandparents!

Viewing of the tape can only happen if you can't see the sex! ('cuz some of you DON'T want to know!)

Hi Kiddos

Oh, this is pure torture. Glad the heartbeat is strong, but can't we find out at Christmas? We can still do the baby pool, etc. But it would be so much more fun to tell all of us "in person." You know how EXCITED we get. (jumping up and down and screaming) Besides how can you keep a straight face. I will know.......just by looking in both of your eyes. No pressure, I will respect you decision. Just remember how much fun it was telling us you were pregnant. OK, I will ease up for now. Back to work.

Love you three, Mom and Dad
