What an Amazing Day

The NT Scan went very well. All is measuring great and, although we won't have our specific risk numbers until the b/w comes back (later this week), the doctor didn't see any reason to be concerned.

Our little Nittan.y Lion is measuring 13w 5d (I'm 13w1d) and had a beautiful heartbeat. She kept wiggling and flipping around, which was amazing.

The ultrasound tech then asked if we were going to find out the gender. I blurted out yes. She then asked if we wanted to know what she thought our little one was. She said she's correct 90% of the time.

We said yes.

Then she said mommy, meet your beautiful daughter.

And then I officially lost it.

    Awwww....I know what you mean about losing it. When the u/s tech told us the gender of our baby I completely lost it too. Tears were streaming down my face. She asked if we didn't want a girl. My DH told her I was just overwhelmed.

    Congrats!!

    Add me to the just officially lost it group as well...I'm telling you..We really didn't care either way, and I thought, for sure, 100%, it was a boy..And then we had our anatomy scan, and she told me it was a girl, and she had to tell me 3x. And that was all there was. Instant bond. I am so, so excited for you guys. You'll have to email me your address..I'll have some clothes to pass down =)

    Oh, goodness, I'm gonna need more tissues. Congratulations, my sweet. I can't wait until I give birth and hear those words (or son)...I am weeping.

    I am so very happy for you!

    Oh, and you are gonna have to spill the beans sooner than later, and you are officially in the 2nd trimester...it's time to let the cat out of the bag.
