Pregnancy Tracker: Week 13

Wow! What a week this has been! I have been feeling the morning sickness ease off more, we found out the gender of our baby, and made our official announcement! I was really hoping that we would get the genetic results from our doctor sometime this week but she had told me it could take 2 weeks or more for them to come in! I have a really hard time waiting for news like that so it was very difficult for me to hold in the anxiety. But sure enough, the results came in 8 days later and everything looks great! Oh yeah, and it's a BOY! (I was really hoping for a boy haha)

Funny story about that day:
That morning I saw that I was getting a phone call from the doctor's office. I knew they would be calling the day they get the results in so as I answered I was totally freaking out inside!
    
        "Hi Kelsey, this is so & so from OBGYN North"
             (Yeah......I know!)
         "I'm just calling to remind you to set your 16 week appointment"

Oh my disappointment! The level of disappointment I felt just proves how anxious I was. Anyways, I went on with my day and to my surprise a couple hours later I get yet another call from the doctor!
I'm thinking, "Yeah okay, what else could you be calling me about?? I'm not ready to set my appointment yet!"

Lo and behold, it was my awaited phone call! She went through the test results with me and explained that all abnormalities came back as low risk and then finally asked me if I would like to know the gender. YES, YES, YES! I'm glad that I sounded happy and excited when she told me it was a boy! I would love to give expecting parents that happy news!
