Where to begin...
*Let me just say its been a long 8 weeks without my husband being home & partaking in any baby doctors appointments! I had my 13 week check up the other day; I was spotting for a couple days last week which sent me into panic-bitch mode immediately! Here I am nearing the end of the 1st trimester and I automatically freak that I'm miscarrying! Whelp it was a beautiful sound to hear the little ones heart beat...160 bpm! I then asked when my next ultrasound would be and she informed me that it would be a long while, since I somehow signed up for the integrated NT scan so I would get my 2nd ultrasound at that appt on April 11th & of course I immediately was sadden that my husband would start working in April and miss yet another ultrasound/baby appt :( She thankfully felt sorry for me and gave me a script to another fetal doctor in the hospital to have an ultrasound!!!! Yay!! So it is scheduled for March 6th!!!
*I'm and official owner of maternity clothes...it was so much fun shopping this weekend for some items!
*A sweet friend of mine that I used to babysit for has been saving her daughters crib for me for years...so I finally have a crib in MY HOUSE!!!!! She also is giving me a glider chair and some other fabulous stuff! Another dear friend let me borrow her little girls dresser! Now we just need to find out this baby's sex to get the room really rolling :-) I can actually say that I never thought I would have a nursery in my house!
*Cooper, our 1st born announced to the Facebook world that he was going to be a big brother! The warm wishes were so nice to hear!
I'll leave you with a couple photos!

Bump photos
So far I have only gained 2-3 lbs...it's probably all Girl Scout cookies ;)
My weight seems to be distributing itself to my "lovely love handles" (as you can see the progression) and as my mom put it,
"you are carrying the baby in your belly & back" def not what I wanted to hear! Although I am enjoying that I'm finally getting some "junk" in my trunk...hehe!
This upcoming week for my 30th birthday (12 weeks) I will be announcing our pregnancy to the world! I have been waiting for this day FOREVER!!!!
5 Weeks
9 Weeks
I was soooo excited getting dressed for a walk yesterday and
actually seeing a bump while dressed!!!

Baby Jumping Bean
Today was my 11 week ultrasound. We no longer have a baby manatee...I can't believe what a difference 2 weeks makes in the changes of a baby!! What an awesome ultrasound this was. I got larger/clearer pics & a cd that I will bring back for the next ultrasound that they will upload more onto!
Heart beat was 170. Measuring 2 inches long (CRL).
The baby (I'm calling it a HE!) was just waking up with his hand at his face and moving it all around his face, his legs were straight up, which was super cute (long legs like his daddy!) his feet were together (will upload pic) he was a little jumping bean and busy body...maybe it was the half calf coffee I had prior to getting there LOL!
Everything looked great, they did the fluid measurements for down syndrome which is the reason I had an appointment at this particular doctors. I also had bloodwork done, which I will have to wait a few weeks for the results.
I can't wait for the next ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby!
