11 Weeks Celebration

I am 11 weeks today and we got to see our sweet baby.  It actually looked like a baby this time and not just a blob:)  It’s little arms and legs were moving every where.  We thought it would be a cute idea to take Ty and Micah with us for this ultrasound.  They did decently okay.  Micah kept saying ‘oooh, baby’ and doing this new fake laugh that he does.  It’s pretty cute:)  Ty was worried. He was pretty whiney during part of it because I was on the table.  He kept saying ‘help’ meaning he wanted to help me up.  So pitiful!  As soon as we were finished though and I was off the table, he was excited about the baby and kept talking about it.  Here are some pictures we received today.

8 Weeks 5 Days

I went to the doctor today for an ultrasound.  I was very pleased to see my sweet teeny tiny baby.  They said it has a good strong heartbeat, in the 180s. I am 8 weeks, 5 days. That means I am a full week behind what I thought.  I was a little disappointed in the information.  I’m disappointed because that means a whole week added to my sickness.  Other than that, I am okay with this information.  I do have to go back on my previous blogs and change the weeks. 

7 Weeks.

I haven’t felt like doing much so far this pregnancy.  I can’t believe how sick I am this time.  I have 1 week to go till my first doctor visit.  It will be nice to finally go and hopefully find out if it’s only 1 baby.  I am sure it is!  Having twins before makes me very nervous though!  It will be nice to finally hear the heartbeat too. 

We made a trip to Chattanooga this weekend to visit my sister and her family. It has been a nice get away from our house and cooking and cleaning.  It has been wonderful to have Ian home for a long weekend too!  I was very excited to buy a few pieces of maternity clothes. I’m not quite ready for them yet, but it will be nice to have more options when that time comes.  I can actually say that I am very excited to wear these few things I bought. 

The baby this week is apparently the size of a kidney bean.  It’s growing its toes and fingers! It just amazes me every week to see how much it grows!  It is seriously amazing!  It’s amazing to know that God is forming this sweet little baby! It already has a heartbeat, a brain, and lungs are developing!  So wonderful!
