My new sweet baby - Who Knows!

What do you think about my little new baby Who Knows?
MakeMeBabies.com - What will your baby look like?

It's a BOY!!!!!

Yesterday (3/5) we had our first ULTRASOUND! and it was the BEST!!! It was SO fun to SEE our little boy swimming around inside me (he is an active little boy too). He was having so much fun in there. Fist he was LOOKING right at us wondering who was out there looking in on him, and then he started putting on a SHOW for us! He is going to be such a HAM with our jeans in him. At one point he was all STRETCHED out and the Doctor said it looked like he was hanging out on the beach relaxing! (My doctor is AMAZING by the way...I love her...she is so much fun too) Also, our little guys is not SHY at all! He was very cooperative in giving us a nice shot of what he's packin'. Which I was SO excited about because I felt like EVERYTHING was on hold until I found out the sex of the baby (it's hard to pick out bedding and strollers and highchairs until you know).

Here is a picture of his SPINE:

We also got to hear his heart beat, which was so strong. During the ultra sound when the doctor was measuring the heart beat it was 160 (which is normal for a baby...Normal range is 140-160) So, it was on the HIGHER end of normal, because he was swimming around showing off for us but when we were listening to his heart beat after the ultrasound it was about 143 because he had calmed down a bit...but not too much because he did give us a little KICK while we were listening in, which was so fun to hear. This picture of his heart is kind of hard to see but that circle is his belly and the 2 dark spots inside the circle (pointed out by the arrow) is his heart.
The 2 circles in this image are his head and his belly. The one on the left is his head and then on the right is his belly.
So that is our CUTE little boy. We can't wait for him to get bigger and come out of my belly. I am excited to start to feel him more, I have felt him a few times but he is only about 5 inches long and 6 ounces. We will definitely post all of his glamor shots on the blog as they come along. We have our next appointment in April so don't hold your breath.

16+ Weeks

So I am 16 weeks along now and I am SHOWING (a lot in my book, but hey it is my first pregnancy). I actually first started to see my belly getting bigger at 9 weeks but of course I was the only one who could see that. At 13/14 weeks both sets of parents were in town to help us paint our house and I was showing enough for them to see my belly. It was actually fun because sometimes my belly gets bigger over night and one of those nights happened to be while my mom was here so it was fun to show her.

So here is my 16 weeks picture...people at my ward were making fun of me saying I'm not showing at all, and a girl who just had a baby was saying she looked more pregnant than me but COME ON if your preggo belly sticks out further than your boobs I think I am showing.

Also, I haven't bought any maternity clothes yet because my friend is letting my borrow her "Bella Bands" So I can wear my normal pants UN-BUTTONED! It is so nice. What is CRAZY and shows how my belly is growing is up until yesterday I have been able to zip up my pants half way but YESTERDAY I was getting dressed and I couldn't zip my pants up AT ALL!!! Talk about a big belly! It is SO different seeing your body change like this...but exciting at the same time.

In the morning I have my FIRST doctors appointment (I know, I know it is late, DON'T even get me started on why...it is a bunch of Insurance DRAMA), but I am SO excited and nervous at the same time. We are going to do ALL the different exams...I am SO excited to see and hear the baby, AND they might be able to tell the sex of the baby.

And even though I have been a HORRIBLE blogger lately I will DEFINITELY be posting info from the appointment tomorrow.
