Lucky 13

Yesterday was really a very cool - very special - day for Chris and I. Our little Chicken Fry will be 13 weeks on Friday, and in preparation for our second trimester, we were able to have our second ultrasound done, along with a little genetic testing. Before the testing, Chicken had a 1 in 800 something chance of being born with down syndrome based on my age/condition/etc. After the testing, we are so happy to report that Chicken's odds decreased even further to 1 in 10,000. The ultrasound also let us have some much needed face time with our little love bug. I may be a little biased, but I have to say that our baby is so stinkin' cute! Chicken Fry was all curled up in a tiny little ball, so the ultrasound tech had to really shake my belly to wake him/her up. Poor Chicken ... reminds me of Chris on the weekends ;) As soon as Chicken woke up, he/she did this pretty amazing kick boxing move and spent the rest of our visit just kind of bobbing around. We were excited to see two arms, two legs, and the cutest little nose ever. The pictures hardly do it justice, but check them out if you'd like. We feel so lucky to have our little Chicken Fry to look forward to meeting next spring, and we can't wait to finally tell everyone our news.
