12 Weeks!


I made it!  The first trimester has been really easy going for me.  
No vomiting, no mad cravings, etc...  Just fatigue and some moodiness.  
Since the start of my second trimester I've been feeling the same except for the addition of another symptom, cramping in my upper right thigh.  It's really strange and not too intense.  But it's for sure something I'm going to let my NP know about.


The milestone we experienced recently is the 12 week ultrasound.  What an amazing experience.  A note to women going for one, only drink one or two tall glasses of water.  I was so full they made me pee everything out!  
When I left I felt like I had a bladder infection! It was so painful, so don't do that to yourself.


Here's what we saw on the ultrasound:

The top picture was the baby laying on its stomach.  The bottom left is a close up of it's head.  You can actually see it's brain!  The bottom right I think it's either face down or its on its side facing opposite of us.  This is a baby we made!  It's just amazing.  What will he or be like?  What will it look like?  So many questions and so anxious to meet the baby.

Anyway, Jesse has a feeling we're having a boy (there's really no bias there, he just has a feeling) and I think we're having a girl.  So we'll have to see!  Don't forget to vote on my blog what you think we'll be having. :)

Important dates
- September 7th: meeting with NP for monthly check-up
- October 18th: 20 week ultrasound (get to find out what the gender is!)

Isn't it wild to see a little person inside of you that YOU made? You should definitely do a 3d u/s. It is worth every penny. I'm going to say a boy. For some reason dads-to-be have this instinct about that. Robb said it was a boy from day one with both of them. I was so convinced it was a girl I secretly started buying dresses!

LOL thanks Naomi :)

Amy you're hilarious!!! You actually went out and bought little dresses. Girls just are so much fun to dress. I won't do what I did to my brother and put my son in dresses. ;)

Thanks for reading ladies! xo
