Week 13

Hi Baby!

Spring has just barely sprung around here. We have had cool, rainy weather the last few days ~ today there was actually a crazy thunder/lightning/hail storm that rolled through. It is cool enough for a coat in the mornings, then almost t-shirt weather in the afternoons. It's my favorite time of year ~ emerging from winter. Bulb flowers, forsythia and fruit trees are beginning to pop around the valley.

We have been spreading the LOVE about you to a few more people these days.....Our good friends Micah and Kara, her sister Heather, my girlies Lindsey, Jana, (Katie of course has known for awhile), Mark and Carolyn......it is really fun to see the joy on their faces and get all the big hugs. You are already loved by so many people. They can't wait to meet you!



Here are some developments about you this week:

Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you're having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby weighs nearly an ounce.


When the Doc measured you last week, they said that you were about 3 inches from head to tail.


I have been feeling a little better these days.....a little more energy, but I still get the afternoon queasiness. I feel like I am eating A LOT, but I haven't gained any weight yet, just still thickening around the middle. Starting to show....I will probably have to tell people at school about you pretty soon as it is getting tough to hide my little belly. They will all certainly be thrilled to hear the news as well. 

Love you Baby, me

Week 12 - 1st Doc Apt's

Hi Baby!

We received lots of good news about you this week! On Monday Dr. Mary Janowiak checked me out for the first time as a PREGNANT person ;) She was very excited for us. We talked about all sorts of stuff, but mostly she just gave me confirmation that we are healthy and doing the right things. It was quite a surprise, but she did an ultrasound while we there! It was really neat because she was very patient and took the time to make sure we got some well-posed pictures. You are quite a cutie! You were wiggling around like crazy!

Here are the pictures:

Top of your head, arms, hands

Your fanny, legs, feet

So cool!!!!!!

A few days later we had another appointment with Dr. Bobroski at what I like to call the 'fancy ultrasound place' - Maternal Fetal Medicine. She took lots and lots of pictures ~ but their purpose was to measure you and make sure you are growing at the right rate and in all the right places. They said that everything about you is 'textbook'. Good deal baby. The pictures that they sent me home with are not nearly as cool as the others, so I'll spare you.

Everything seems to be ship-shape!
