Sand Hollow &......

We were supposed to go camping this past weekend with a buddy of Casey's to pine lake.  We have never been there before so we were kind of excited to go somewhere new.  We'll Casey's buddy's wife was unable to get work off because it got so busy last week.  We decided that we wanted to go camping anyway.  After looking at the weather, we decided to go to Sand Hollow and enjoy some warm weather.  It did rain on Saturday afternoon while we were there, but other than that, the weather was very nice.  We had fun riding on the sand dunes and playing at the lake.

Caleb was burying ants in the sand and watching them dig out of it.

Climbing the rocks.  He's such a boy!

He got a snorkel set for his birthday that he's been dying to try out.

 

 

 

Oh and by the way....................................

 

I am 12.5 weeks today.  I had my second appointment today.  Baby has grown well in the last 4 weeks and the heartbeat looks good.  I thought we would listen to the heart beat today but we just did an ultrasound instead.  It was nice to be able to see the baby although it wasn't very active.  I was glad Casey got to see it because he was unable to go to my first appointment and they did one then too.

 Casey isn't usually one to show too much excitement, but he got really excited the other day when he found out that there is a blood test that can determine gender.  With Caleb we just found out during the normal 20 week ultrasound.  I didn't want to spend the extra money for fetal photos or anything when I was getting an ultra sound anyway.  I feel the same way about it now. Well, Casey asked my doc if we could do the blood test.  He said that we could but couldn't be positive that insurance would pay since I'm not over 35.  I'm hoping they will because if not we will be paying $290.  But Casey was willing to pay it, so we got it done.  We'll get the results back in 10-15 business days.

This test will also screen for Trisomy 21, 18, and 13 and monosomy x.  I know I shouldn't be too worried about this because I'm not old enough to be in the high risk age for these, but now I'm kind of worried.  I'm just hoping for a healthy baby!
