Baby's First Picture



Ah, yes. Our hyper little baby. Would it be kind and sit still for a good picture? Of course not. With my bladder pretty full and the technician chasing the baby around with the transducer, that was the best picture we could muster. Even so, you can see the blur around the nose as it was turning away to swim some more. Michael swears the baby has my nose already. I think baby really inherited it's swimming capabilities from me. Oh yes. :)

Today was the Nuchal Screening. For those who want to read more about it here is a link : http://www.babycenter.com/0_nuchal-translucency-screening_118.bc Basically it is a 2 part test to calculate percentages for any chance of genetic/chromosome defects. The second part of the test will be done at the end of December.

Baby is 2 inches from crown to rump and has a good heart beat of 152 beat per minute. We'll know the sex of the baby in January. At the time of the sonogram (yesterday) I was 11 weeks and 4 days pregnant. :)We're a few days away from being into the second trimester!

9 Weeks and a Cure

So yes...I am nine weeks pregnant today. See link for details. http://www.babycenter.com/6_your-pregnancy-9-weeks_1098.bc Also, thanks to my parents (yes, they know all), I have found a cure to my nighttime "morning" sickness. CLUB SODA AND LIME ON THE ROCKS. Oh yes...it's my hero. Not that it gets rid of my nausea entirely, but enough to where I no longer puke! Annndd I can have conversations without stopping and running to the bathroom. Lovely. I feel so much perkier. Additionally, 3 more weeks until I am out of the first trimester! All I have to say is, it went by super fast but not fast enough. I can't wait until I feel semi-better.
