There was a scary moment when the doctor pointed out a bright spot on the baby's heart. He explained that babies with Down Syndrome tend to have the spot, but that it's not necessarily indicative of Downs. The basic break down is that we moved from a 1 in 20,000 chance of Downs to a 1 in 8,000 chance of Downs. The high risk category begins at 1 in 200, so we are still at very low risk and that's enough talk about that.
We're so excited to have a little boy, but it turns out all the names we've been looking at were girl's names. Now we've really got to get to work on figuring out some good boy's names. There are so many, I'm trying not to stress about it. We have more than 20 weeks to go and I'm sure something will come to us.
The baby is kicking up a storm now, although it's still very light. Every time I relax the baby goes to town, it's so fun to feel. Can't wait for the kicks to be stronger so I can share them more easily with Justin.

If you look closely here, you'll see what I think is proof of Justin's eyebrows! :)
