Beautiful BOUNCING Baby

We had our 12 week health checkup this morning and Baby Hawes is as healthy as can be! Phew! :-) Our risks for Down Syndrome is 1/7,000 and our risk for Trisomy 13 or 18 is 1/10,000...those odds are good enough for us!

We sat with the Doc for awhile and talked about my health, including my weight, which looks great (so I'm eating pumpkin cheesecake tonight - Thanks to my fabulous neighbor Jessica)! Baby H's growth is right on track, even ahead of schedule by 1 day...hopefully that's not an early sign of the size of baby I'm growing!!! The heartbeat was a healthy 157 bpm, much faster than the last 2 ultrasounds.

Our wonderful friends Kim & Bo told us about a company that rents fetal dopplers and Dr. Breedlove said they weren't dangerous to use, so we've bought one of those so everyone can hear our little ones beating heart also!
The absolute BEST part of our visit was the 12 week ultrasound. Baby Hawes was movin' and groovin'! He/She would arch his/her back and would launch itself around, kicking and punching the entire time. It's unreal to watch all the movement, but not feel a thing. Only 6 more weeks until we find out what we're having!!! Get your guesses in soon.
Check out the little foot kicked up!



Launching itself around my belly - even his/her hand is punching up. *Little jumping bean*
Healthy heartbeat (157 bpm)
Little legs kicking around - one is straight up in the air, the other slightly bent.

This is what we're so very THANKFUL for this year! :-D
