Ultrasound at 12 weeks, 2 days...

We had a very important ultrasound today! Since I am of "advanced" years and have had problems with a previous pregnancy, I have been to see a perinatalist to make sure everything looks good at this point. And, it does! Baby is uncooperative, moving around like a little maniac at times, and growing like a weed! The baby has grown from 33 mm to 78 mm in about 2 weeks!


This looks like a view of the back, but it's difficult to tell. The sonographer just printed the photos for us. I think that is a little ear up at the top of the head on the top right.

I'm pretty sure this is a side view. There appears to be a little nose and what might be a foot, leg, or knee at the top left. Mostly, you see a big ole belly and head. ;)

Special Announcement!

For those who might not be able to tell, that little bitty peanut between the plus signs is our baby. I am now 8 weeks pregnant, due in October. We're very excited about this!

So far, I have had very little morning sickness, mostly nausea with no vomiting. I did have one bad day a few weeks ago, but that was pretty much it. I also feel a lot more tired than usual and have to get up constantly to pee. The nighttime bathroom trips are what tipped me off. As of last Monday, I have only gained 1.8 pounds and everything looks good so far.
