The size of, but not a lemon.

At 14 weeks baby is now the size of a lemon! From head to rump he/she should be about 3.5" - 4" long. We had our NT Scan (Nuchal translucency screening) last week which assess our baby's risk of having Down syndrome (DS) and some other chromosomal abnormalities as well as major congenital heart problems. The results came back very good so we seem to be in the clear and we got an "extra" ultrasound".  Our next ultrasound is scheduled for May 8 and we will hopefully get to find out the gender at that appointment.


Since the weather has warmed up and we can be outside more often Joseph got a new backyard toy. He also loves to chase the cat or play with rocks in the backyard. We still go to the park because he loves to swing.

New backyard climber!
Joe likes to color!
We finally got a nice day to go to the St Patrick's Day parade. Darren & Julia joined us. It was very crowded, but we were able to get an ok spot.






We're looking forward to Easter in a couple of weeks. Between the Easter Vigil Service (where I'll finally be able to receive the sacraments and will be fully Catholic), Joe being able to hunt Easter eggs and see the Easter bunny and spending time with family it should be a really eventful, fun weekend!
