12 weeks and an NT Scan

Can't believe how fast time has gone by! We are almost done with the first trimester, and it just blows my mind.  I am still feeling sick, but I think that it is definitely getting better. We had our NT scan this week to check baby for Down's Syndrome, Trisomy-18, and other genetic disorders (they check the fluid at the back of the baby's neck and do a blood test on mommy).  I was nervous but Peanut looked great! All measurements and blood tests came back normal, although Peanut was not cooperative at all.  The doctor had such a hard time getting the measurements that she had me go walk in the hall for 40 minutes while she took another patient! By that time Peanut had re-adjusted and we got all of the measurements done.  Here are some pics of our little babe from the ultrasound!
