NT Scan and a little baby butt

So last week we had our first meeting with our MFM and it was SO good.  First off, I loved the office.  The people were great and the ultrasound suites had recliners for me, a comfy couch for DH, and a HUGE flat screen TV on the wall so we could watch the ultrasound as it was happening.  They also gave us a CD with copies of all of the pictures they took. 

Everything looked great.  The NT measurements were way below the "danger zone" and there was a very visible nasal bone which they said sometimes isn't present in down's babies.  They gave us the option of doing the additional blood tests to get our  number for our risk of chromosomal problems, but we decided not to do it.  As long as anatomically it looked like the baby was growing as it should be, we don't care about developmental issues right now.  It will be what it will be.  What can we do about it now anyways, other than worry?  As long as the baby looks like it is growing as it should and there is no harm to the pregnancy right now, we are good.   

We saw the heart and got to hear the heart beat.  We saw both hemispheres of the brain.  We saw the stomach and the bladder and got to see the fluids moving in an out of the cord.  The baby was jumping and wiggling the whole time.  It was so awesome.  At one point the umbilical cord got in his/her face and we saw him/her knock it out of the way.  The baby stuck its tongue out at us which and mooned us.  We got to see his/her little butt crack.  It was pretty cute.   

Probably the best part was that DH laughed and giggle the whole time.  Every time the baby moved he was so in awe of it. 

Here are some of the pics we got. 

I go back to my OB on June 17 for my 16 week check up and then back to the MFM on July 3rd to check on the baby's development and hopefully find out if it is a boy or a girl!  I cannot wait! 

We came out on facebook which has made everything seem so much more real.  Our families are dying to help us get a nursery set up.  I have had to give everyone a "job" so I don't end up with 10 cribs.  I am going to go this week and look at paint colors for the nursery. 

I still cannot believe I am even talking about nurseries and babies and paint colors.  Every day, I cannot believe I am here.  I am eternally grateful for every day with the baby growing inside of me and am trying not to take anything for granted.
