We had another doctors appointment today. It all went well; we listened to the heartbeat which was very strong, took some vitals and we got the results back from some screenings. Timnah doesn't carry the Cystic Fibrosis gene, so we are in the clear on that. The baby does have positive blood, so she will need to get both Rhogam Shots to protect her during the pregnancy and birth.
The most exciting part though, was receiving the envelope with the sex of our baby in it! The office is so excited for us and they think the reveal party is such a fun idea. They licked the envelope, turned down the tabs and even taped it shut! There will be no peaking before the party. In fact, we aren't even going to keep the envelope in the house. Tomorrow we are going to visit Classic Cakes bakery in Carmel to taste some cakes and design our Reveal Cake!! We will leave the results with them and find out with everyone else when we cut into the cake. It's really going to be a fun moment!
Things are really progressing nicely though, and Timnah is feeling great. We feel so blessed for her to be having the kind of pregnancy she is. Happy, happy, happy and not sick, sick, sick! One last little hurdle to clear is the results of our Quad Screen next week. This test checks for Down Syndrome and various Trisomies. Keep us in your prayers this week as we await those results.
Thats all for tonight! Thank you for all the love, support and prayers!

Hellllloooooooo little baby of ours!!! Sure wish I could hear from you (your heartbeat right now!!!) again! Especially the very "strong" heartbeat. Your Momma's baby bump sure is cute!! And I am so thankful for the medical technology that provides her a way to stay safe when you each have a different blood type. I will continue to thank the Lord for your life and your safe keeping. Until we meet, I love you so much already. Hugs and Kisses from your Lollie! OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
