YAY!

It was sooner than expected, but the genetic counselor called this morning with the results from the CVS and everything is fine genetically!! Additionally, since they look at the chromosomes, she told us that we're having a baby boy. :) I really don't care what sex the baby is, as long as it's healthy!! However, now that we know the sex, we only have to concentrate on trying to come up with boy names instead of both. I don't know how they knew, but both my mom and Gary's mom told us that it was going to be a boy - so they're right!

Yesterday, we had a regular dr appt. They took my weight (I haven't gained anything) and blood pressure - it was higher than I'm used to but it's still in normal range since I have lower blood pressure regularly. When we met with the dr, she really only just asked if we had any questions and then we listened to the baby's heartbeat (which is always nice to hear). Honestly, I kinda felt like it was a waste of time to take off work for so long for just that (even though I know they like to check things along the way to make sure that I'm not gaining too much weight too fast, etc). She scheduled us to come back in 6 weeks for another ultrasound (where they check the anatomy and make sure everything's ok). Originally she scheduled another regular dr appt for 4 weeks, but I asked her to change it so that I could do both appts on the same day so Gary & I only have to take off work once. So, we'll be going back when I'm around 18 weeks.
