13 WEEKS (final week of First Trimester!)

Hi world!  I'm just hangin out in here...

Baby is 6cm right now! A little bigger than my hair tie!

Yay! March 26th came FINALLY! I've been waiting as patiently as I could for this ultrasound!  It looks like my estimated due date of October 1 is tracking with what the doctor says. She reminded me that it is still an estimtaed date, and it could change as my pregnancy progresses.  The baby is healthy at 13 weeks on the 26th and is measuring 6cm which is 2in and 1cm.  The baby's heartbeat is 153bpm, which is concidered normal and strong.  What a little CUTIE!  The ultrasound tech was talking to me and doing her thing measuring, she'd occasionally tell me what she was doing, measuring my uterus, showed me my ovaries, etc. She said she was going to take measurements before the fun part (seeing the baby) So, I thought she'd warn me for the surprise, but she didn't.  I had my eye on the screen the whole time, and all of a sudden my baby popped up on the screen...INSTANT overwhelming feeling and tears in my eyes.  It really was the MOST amazing feeling ever.  I had butterflies and just wanted to jump out of my skin.  The ultrasound was a 3-D ultrasound which allowed the tech to see a better image at times too!  This picture is so sweet, but doesn't do justice compared to what I saw live.  If I could re-live that moment I so would! I think Will talks more at our appointments than I do.  lol  He definately is the talker in the relationship...he talks to complete strangers like they've been friends for 10 years.  He was surprised with the image of the ultrasound and said "it's not a dinasour anymore!"  haha.   Baby had (her) legs crossed and was moving around quite a bit.  Will can't wait to find the sex out.  He said he has some things in the works to make for the baby.......awwwwww!  But what it is depends on if it's a girl or boy.  I love it that he is SO in to this pregnancy as a male, it makes things that much more exciting for me!  The morning of the appointment I left the house not being able to button my pants...but it was the only pair of work pants I had that morning!  They fit completely the last time I wore them, which was only a couple of days ago (I only have 2 pairs of black pants right now, which lots of laundry lately).  Thank goodness for hair ties! They hold your pants together during pregnancy, and they describe how big the baby is!  Next week...I start the SECOND TRIMESTER!  Time flies! 

Time for some new work pants...or a belly band!!
