13 Weeks

This week: We had a visit from my parents (Rabbit's Babcia & Opa)! It was lovely. We went to visit a local Amish community and had a great time. Mom went crazy buying baby things and Dad and my Mr were no help in slowing her down. Rabbit is going to have an impressive book collection just like his/her mommy thanks to Babcia and that's nothing I can complain about! Mom also got me the sweetest circus theme baby book that matches our nursery colors.

3rd Month Check-up: I've been nervous since my last visit about gestational diabetes but my lab work confirmed that we're in the clear, for now at least. Whew! The midwife said everything looked perfect and my blood pressure was fine this time (last month it was really high because I was so nervous). Best of all, my parents were able to join Mr and I for the visit. They were proudly wearing their grandparent t-shirts and Dad (though he swears 4 witnesses are liars) cried when we got to hear the heart beat. Rabbit must have known how excited we all were to hear him/her because there was no hiding this time around! The midwife was able to find the little one right away and we heard a good strong heartbeat and lots of swishing around. Rabbit must have been dancing for us!

Coming up next: I got my paperwork to schedule my 18-20 week ultrasound. Technically my next midwife appointment is before that but this is pretty exciting stuff right?! I can't wait to get our first look at Rabbit!
