12 Week Appointment!

This morning I went to the doctor to check on the little squirt!  It was a good, quick appointment.  The little bugger's heartbeat is nice and solid.  For all, and I mean ALL, the eating I've been doing (to the point of being TIRED of eating), I've gained just over a pound. 

We also decided to go to the new Maple Grove hospital, which is beautiful!  I'm glad that my doctor delivers there!  And the bonus is that they let siblings under the age of 5 in the labor/delivery wing, which is NOT the case for other unnamed aread hospitals!

First Trimester.....Check! 195 Days to Go!!!

Well, we've officially made it through the first trimester!  Yea!  Not much is new in our world....looking forward to a doctor's appointment on Wednesday.  It seems like so much time in between appointments and when the baby is still so small, you can't really feel it moving around---so I get a little anxious that everything is alright. 

Anyways, here's what's going on in baby's world....

The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, toes will curl, eye muscles will clench, and baby's mouth will make sucking movements.  Baby is about the size of a lime---weighing in at 1/2 oz.

I'm doing ok.  Still a lot of cramping which has been rough, but otherwise, feeling fine!  (Fat, but fine!)  :)
