15 Weeks

16 Weeks

Hi sweet baby,

You're 16 weeks big right now. Somewhere between 4 to 4 1/2 inches and 3.5 ounces. I can't believe how much you grow every week. I love hearing how you've doubled in size since the previous week :)

I think I'm finally starting to get some of my energy back.. and boy am I thankful for that! Not that I didn't love every minute of being lazy in bed with you :)

According to TheBump.com you can start hearing my voice this week! We might have to start reading some stories out loud together!

On Saturday we are hopefully going to find out if you're a little girl or a little boy :) I can't wait!

I love you so much already,
Mama

13 Weeks

Hi baby :)

Hopefully from now on, there will actual pictures of YOU in my belly - and not just fruit :) Even so, today you are the size of a peach. That's almost 3 inches long! You have fingerprints this week too! Crazy stuff, huh?

I still get some queasiness every now and then, but for the most part you've been very nice to be these whole 13 weeks!

I don't think I've told you yet - but in just 3 short weeks we will hopefully be finding out if you're a little boy or a little girl! We have an appointment on Saturday, June 30th at a place in Bloomington. They guarantee they'll be able to tell the sex as early as 16 weeks! I can't wait!!

Sorry this is short but I'm running late for work. I'll write more later!

I love you, I love you, I love you!

12 Weeks

I wish that blogger was more compatiable with my computer at work. I'm always so late posting my weekly updates!

I picked up a plum at the grocery store on Sunday night and was amazed that you were so big already! We told some more people since the last time I wrote. My aunt Melinda now knows and so does my Grandma and Grandpa. Exciting stuff :)

 Our next appointment got pushed back a week, so we don't get to hear your sweet heartbeat for another 3 weeks :( Thankfully, I have our Doppler at home!

Nothing else really new to report. I threw up once on Wednesday but haven't since. That makes a total of 2 times this whole pregnancy. Not so bad, huh? Thanks for being easy on me :) I have been pretty tired and get worn out easy but that's par for the course. Can't wait until another week passes - one less week I have to wait to see you, sweetie!

I love you.

11 Weeks

Hi baby!

 Another week has come and gone. Only 30 weeks left (give or take) until you'll be in your daddy and I's arms! I hope you're as excited for that day as we are :) I love hearing your daddy talk about you. He's so excited! We still haven't told many people, but we plan on telling your Grandma Karen and Great-Grandma Judy soon. And then if all goes well at your 14 week appointment, we plan on telling the rest of the world! :) I suppose you would like to see how big you are right now..

You're the size of a lime! I remember when you were the size of an apple seed at 5 weeks - look how much you've grown! We won't get another ultrasound until 20 weeks :( but everywhere I read says that you are dancing and twisting and moving all around inside of me right now!

I can't wait to meet you.. grow strong, little one.

I love you to the moon and back.

10 Weeks

Hi baby! When I started to write the title on the this post, I wrote "11 Weeks" - I wish time was moving that fast ;) This is how big you are right now:

I've still been feeling pretty good - nausea comes and goes, but it's never horrible! I'll still be glad when it's over in a few weeks (hopefully)

 Exciting news - we had our first actual OB appointment. While it didn't go anything like I thought it would.. we DID get to hear your heartbeat! It was amazing :) It sounded like a whole bunch of galloping horses and the doctor said it was in the perfect range. 168! I wonder if you're a little boy or girl.. :) Can't wait to find out in 10 more weeks!

 I love you so much, Mama*
