Week 12

Update...added pics at the end of this post.
We had our ultrasound appointment yesterday afternoon and it went great! We have one active little munchkin!! It was probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen. We had NO idea it would be so active! It was moving it's arms all over the place so we got to see it's litle hand and all five little fingers. And then every time the lady tried to get a picture of what she was looking for, baby would squirm away and turn it's head. Fiesty little thing! Hope that's not a sign of what's to come. :) But the most fun part, was that baby was jumping all over the place! Pushing with it's legs against my stomach and jumping up and down, over and over. How compeltely cool is that? I can't wait till I can start to feel all the kicks and moves. What fun!! Jeff and I were just so impressed with it. He said baby has a great jump shot, so it'll probably be a basketball player. I think he's convinced this baby is a boy...we'll just have to see!
I have some more pictures to post, but didn't get a chance to scan them last night. I will work on that tonight and post pics later.
Otherwise, not a too whole lot else is new. We have been checking a couple of websites each week to see what size the baby is. One said last week that it was about the size of a lime, and the other website said that it was the size of a lime this week. Oh well. It's either a lime or a plumb this week...you pick. :P
As far as the ultrasound and blood work yesterday, we won't know any results until my next blood draw which is not till 15-18 weeks. So, we just have to sit tight for now and hope for the best. The lady doing the ultrasound said baby has two legs and two arms though...and we know at least one hand has all five fingers, so at least we're good on that front. :)
We're still not finished with the bathroom remodel...but getting there. I have moved back home though, so that is nice. Hopefully soon our house will be back in normal shape because next on the list is the baby's room!!




This last pic shows the 5 little fingers of baby's hand! There is an arrow pointing to it, if you can't tell. I wish these things weren't so grainy. It's such a cool sight!

Week 10

Baby is approximately the size of a kumquat or prune this week and is expected to double in size within the next 3 weeks. Sheesh!
My fist appointment with the midwives last Friday went well. Jeff and I decided to do the additional Integrated Screening for Downs Syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities. It involves an extra ultrasound and two extra blood tests. The ultrasound can't be performed until week 11.5 thru 13. So I'm set to go back for that on March 22nd (I'll be 12 weeks). Can't wait to get another pic of the babe. :)

Week 9

Baby is approximately the size of a grape this week!

We told all our friends and family the news this weekend! So, I think pretty much everyone knows now. At least our closest friends and family. Jeff is telling his grandma today. I haven't told my work friends or boss yet and probably won't for a couple more weeks. Eek! That makes me nervous for some reason.

Otherwise, all is still well with us. Jeff is finishing up with the shower remodel this week, so hopefully I can go back home soon. I'm sure my mom is getting sick of her house guest that just won't go away! ;) Just teasing.

Well, my posts are probably gonna be boring for the next couple months, I have a feeling. I'll try to start posting "baby-bump" pictures soon. Although, right now it's not a baby causing the "bump", but fat, rather. I really need to start exercising again....Aruba is only a few short months away!!

I forgot I took this pic at 6 weeks....I look pretty much the same now, 3 weeks later, so I thought this would work...
