School Year begins again! And an ultrasound...

Molly's first day of preschool. (Noah started 1st grade a few weeks ago)

Profile view of baby. 12.5 weeks! Crazy technology.


Whole baby view. The legs are bent in so you can see them and the arms are above the head. It was moving like crazy!

Molly ready to rock and roll at preschool!


Molly had her first day of preschool yesterday. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time! I know some parents cry but I was SO excited. I knew she was excited to do something on her own. I was almost giddy as I left the school. You can definitely tell the parents whose first kid is at school. Both husband and wife come, with camera, and lots of pictures. Then you can also tell the parents of kids who might have 3 or 4 older ones. They still have their jammies on and don't flinch. I think I fall somewhere in the middle. No kids with 2.5 hours to myself! YEAH, what to do. Well I had my first trimester screening. I didn't do this with Noah and Molly but I have been exposed to so much more. I think I was definitely a little more green when I had Noah. I just assumed you got pregnant and the baby was born healthy. I think age and time have showed me that nothing comes easy. This time around I want to be armed with all the info I can. This ultrasound is done at the hospital (they have a fancier machine than the doc office). Then there is a blood test. I had NO idea the ultrasound would be so clear and amazing. I even got to see the sex! I am keeping that minor secret for a while. But everything looked good! I feel like I can get a little more excited now that I am almost in the second trimester.
