Doctor's Appointment

We had a doctor's appointment this morning. Our doctor, Dr. Matthews, is getting certified to perform Nuchal Translucency scans so he wanted to do an ultrasound and try to measure the space between the vertebra of our little one. The good news is we had the ultrasound and got to see our little boy/girl moving around ALOT! We actually heard the heartbeat first (153 bpm) with the doppler then on the ultrasound saw the heart, brain, spine, legs, arms, and Dr. Matthews said everything looks good. But our baby boy/girl was moving around so much Dr. Matthews could not get a good angle to measure the space between the vertebra correctly. So, we have an appointment tomorrow morning with Dr. McGhee, a specialist who did our NT ultrasound and test with James. Hopefully he will be able to get a good measurement and possibly see if we are having a boy or girl. We think we saw a little something poking out on the ultraound today but are hoping Dr. McGhee will be able to confirm tomorrow! We were lucky Dr. McGhee's office was able to squeeze us in. To be accurate, this test has to be done between 11-14 weeks and I will be 14 weeks on Thursday! I will update tomorrow after our appointment.
