Boy or Girl? And genetic screening

Before my 11 week ultrasound I received a call with my recent blood work results. All of the genetic screening came back normal which was wonderful! They also had the results of the baby's gender. :) It's amazing that we could find out the gender so early in the pregnancy. When I was pregnant with Brielle we had to wait till 19 weeks. Now they can tell the gender with the baby's blood that crosses over the placenta. I had the nurse write down the gender on a card that I could pick up at my appointment that day.

Charles was able to make it with me to my ultrasound appointment and I was beyond excited to see our baby again! Our little one was quite stubborn at first but with a little help from the ultrasound tech the little one began squirming all around. Our baby appeared to look healthy and we received a call later from my OB that the ultrasound results showed no concerns.

The envelope with our baby's gender sat on the dinner table for a few hours. It took some major willpower not to open the envelope! Once Charles got home he went straight for the envelope. It wasn't exactly the plan but I figured we could find out together before our reveal. It was so funny to watch him try to sneak a peak through the envelope before opening it. We opened the envelope and..... stay tuned for the gender!
