Movement!

I felt him move tonight! I'm 13 weeks and a few days. 
I was using the doppler to listen to his heartbeat, and all I could hear was a whole lot of him moving around. I heard this huge thump, and sure enough, felt it!
I am sure I wouldn't feel anything if I hadn't been pressing so hard, but I'll take it!
Been working on the nursery. Got one more coat on one wall which I will finish tonight, then I have to cut in walls and corners and get baseboard in.

Baby BOY! and names.

We found out on Monday that we're having a baby boy! Blood tests confirmed it, and no trisomies.
Have out NT scan today to check for other issues but I am not really concerned. My folate is through the roof so the chances of clefts or brain issues aren't high.

We're stuck on 2 names, Maddox and August. I really like both, so it's hard.
Expect another update after NT scan :)

Had a meeting with the high risk Dr today. Nothing really to report, went over her concerns which are my vitamin deficiencies, Behcet's and my age.
Had a surprise ultrasound, too!
Jonas was there and he was so amazed at seeing the baby. It was so precious!
We did the first trimester screening, and the Verifi test which is a DNA test for defects.
We should know the baby's sex next week thanks to this test!
It's going to be really hard because we don't want to know the sex, we're going to have them put it in an envelope and give it to Angela so she can surprise us all.
Unless of course, I cave and have to know right away.
You can see little arms and legs now! So exciting!
