You are 12w 1d old today (August 21, 2008) and we went in for our 1st Trimester Screening test. It is a test for down syndrome and genetic disorders. Mom and Dad didn't think of it that way though, the way we saw it was just another opportunity for us to take a little peek at you!
Before the appointment, Mommy had a half a muffin and some chocolate milk. I guess all that sugar got to you because you could not stay still for the ultrasound tech to take her pictures. We were in the room for about 1/2 and hour and saw you swimming around and doing somersaults in mommy's belly. The tech was telling us that you will be a handful when you come! I think it is also because you are Daddy's baby...I say this because Dad is exactly like that, he cannot sit still even if his life depended on it! Dad says you might be an Olympic swimmer, a music conductor (because your hands were everywhere) or a great chef like Daddy!
Just for fun, we asked the tech to guess if you were a boy or a girl and she said if she really had to guess, she would say you were a baby boy! Daddy had the same feeling too because he said he thinks he saw your pee pee. We'll see if they are right at your next ultrasound!
After all the measurements and poking around, the tech gave us your second set of pictures. You are growing so fast! You not only doubled in size, we can see very recognizable features now. How cute!
I showed your pictures to Uncle Dan, and he said you have the very familiar Chen's head. Don't worry about Uncle Dan...he is only playing!
Tomorrow we go in for our 2nd pre-natal appointment!
Love, Mom
