15 Week: Update on Baby "Thumper"

We are so excited and thankful that our appointment with the high risk specialist: Dr. B...it went very well back at 12 weeks.  She ran special tests to check our little pea for chromosome problems.  It was quite the appointment...it took 30mins to get baby hardy in the right position for the tests...for some reason he or she thought it would be more fun to stand on its head rather than cooperate!!! Dr. B expressed that we might have our hands full when this little one arrives....oh gosh...lol!  Baby "Thumper" did finally flip around and did great & all the tests so far have checked out ok.  Here is a picture taken at that appointment.  We got lots of pics of our beautiful little pea, but this one was by far our favorite!  Unbelievable for just 12 weeks old!

Today actually marks 15 weeks!  We went back to see Dr. D today & everything looked great!  She has been giving us ultrasounds at each appointment.  Today it was on a hand held machine...pretty neat...it's about the size of an i-phone.  Thumper had a strong heartbeat, but wasn't too excited to see us...he or she was snoozing the entire time!!! Dr. D tried poking & prodding, but Thumper slept straight through it.  She thought maybe this was a good sign & we'll have a very laid back little bambino! 

Other news on the baby front:  Baby Hardy has decided to make a slight appearance on the outside of my belly! It's official...I've got a little "Thumper" bump!

T & I are so unbelievably excited! We still can't stop smiling every time we think about our little miracle baby! We love him or her so much & are counting down the days until we get to finally hold our miracle in our arms!  God is so Good & we are so thankful!
