12 weeks 5 days

Morning all I just got back from my 12 week check up and all is good. My doctor gave me the results from our 12 week ultrasound which was done last Thursday, Feb 5. They read something like this, "One healthy very active baby measuring 13 weeks 4 days" YIKES!!! So that basically means that baby is measuring 1.5 weeks ahead of schedule!! Which could move our due date to August 9th!

So my doctor and I discussed this and (as I know my schedule very well) agreed that my due date of August 20th is most accurate and to continue to go by that. She just suggested that I be prepared to deliver early....yeah isn't that what most 38+ weeks pregnant women wish for!! I guess only time will tell.....

I got to also hear the heartbeat which was 160bpm (so is does that mean boy or girl?)...what a comforting sound that is especially since I don't have a belly, can't feel any movements yet so other then being hungry pretty much all the time...I have no other symptoms. Which don't get me wrong I am not complaining about...it just sometimes plays with your head and you start to wonder if indeed there is a little peanut growing in there :)

Well that's the update for now. Next ultrasound will be around 20 weeks which will be the first part of April....and yes we hope to find out the sex :) I know that most of you are hoping that we have a girl but honestly I think we will have a boy and I will be very shocked if the tech tells us girl!!

So what do you think we are having?? Any name suggestions?

12 weeks today...Goodbye First Trimester!

Ok here is our peanut at 12 weeks old. Not much to see but pretty darn neat to us :) The first picture is baby with head down and his/her feet pulled right up to their tummy. The second picture is a really squished baby with a leg straight in the air...honestly it makes me think of a frog leg:)

This is something I have waited my whole life for and it yet after knowing we have been pregnant for....9 weeks it still does not feel real.

The coolest/creepiest part of watching your baby on an ultrasound is that you can see it moving (a lot) but you can't feel anything!! Jeff just piped up and said, "just a worm swimming in you" yeah so sweet and just grossed me out more :)

Anyways I hope I get enough of a belly shortly because right now it just looks like I have gained some weight :(
