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*

9 Weeks

Hi baby, You are 9 weeks old today! Wondering how big you are? I'll show you.. :)

I think that the most exciting part is that you're finally considered a fetus and not just an embryo! You're growing up so fast.. ;)

 I've been feeling alright so far. My tummy hurts quite a bit during the day, but you've only made me throw up once! I feel really bad that I'm not eating as good as I know I should. Usually, if anything sounds appealing.. it's junk food. You have your mama's sweet tooth already! I haven't stepped on the scale yet - but I don't feel like I've gained a lot of weight. I've been wearing my BeBand during the day with my work pants because I get soo bloated after I eat anything. I can't wait until I have an actual baby bump and can show you off!

 We have our next appointment next Wednesday and I can't wait to hear your heartbeat! I'm almost sure that I got to hear it on our Doppler at home the other night - but I haven't been able to find a good reading on it again. You're probably just being a little stinker :) I still try every night though!

 I love you! Mama
