Today I visited Dr. Chris, and got the 12-week check-up. All cylinders firing, baby growing, heartbeat strong (and fast!) We enjoyed witty banter about egg nog (which the Doc refers to as "mucus" and "slime" -- blasphemy!!), and finished the visit with a blood draw and urine deposit. Yeehaw.
Our 13-week ultrasound is next Monday. They'll measure the "nuchal translucency", a fancy phrase for predicting chromosomal abnormality (such as downs). We doubt they'll be able to tell us much more than that, since we'll head back for a second ultrasound around week 18. Sorry. No boy/girl news until then, most likely.
Surprising news: I lost three (3!) pounds since my last OB visit. I'm telling you, egg nog is superfood.
