Yesterday Josh and I toured the CDC (Child Development Center) on Hill AFB and signed our baby up. Even signing up 6 months early doesn't guarantee us a spot come August. We are really impressed with the facility and staff and know our baby will be in good hands during the day. Another aspect we really like is they encourage parents to come and visit during the day, so Josh (being as close as he is) would come during lunch and they serve the parents lunch as well and he can spend some time with our little one. They are only able to take 16 babies in the age group 6 weeks to 6 months and the CDC serves alot of people. We are priority 3 out of 7, so it's better than we anticipated.
So like I said a few days ago we found out the baby's sex and got to see tons of pictures of the baby. We went to the radiology department at the hospital we'll be delivering at and they took over 100 photos, they printed out 5 for us to keep. We got a face photo, a picture of the baby waving, cute feet photo and a great spine one. They took all the measurements of the bones and head and we got to see a really clear shot of the baby's heart. We were able to see all 4 chambers and the veins and arteries. Anyway the baby is perfect, everything is where it should be and there are no problems. We also took the quad screening blood test (easy test that just draws my blood) that looks for things like down syndrome, spina bifidia and other things and everything came back normal so that's reassuring. I'm getting so anxious and excited to meet our baby, I can't wait to be a mom and Josh is so excited to have another baby.

And I cant wait to be an AUNT!!!
Congrats! glad that all is well!
Glad the baby is doing well. It's always nerve-wracking before the ultrasounds and tests. Isn't it amazing to see them moving around in there?
To answer your question about my other blog: I set it up for Garrett to see pictures and videos of the kids that I don't want anyone else to see. For example, I have a video where Megan is talking to her daddy about her day while picking her nose. :) I thought it would be best to keep that in the family! Ha ha.
Enjoy your pregnancy. It'll be over before you know it!
