MORE pics...

So it took me a while but I finally scanned the ultrasound pictures from that 2nd ultrasound I had during the week of 10/18.

These are from the Nuchal Translucency (NT) ultrasound on October 22nd. It was really cool to see the little one squirmin' around in there. In one of these pics (s)he's even waving! :)

Enjoy.

Pictures!

First things first, I updated about my belly yesterday... edit... replaced with a much more flattering picture. ;)

And, this is from today's ultrasound!

So exciting!

I haven't thrown up since Wednesday (thanks, Zofran generic equivalent!). I am hoping that the morning sickness is on its way out, but that medication was a lifesaver while I was working at Crossroads over the weekend.

I have an NT ultrasound on Thursday, so I get to see the baby AGAIN. Woo hoo! My mom's coming with me to that one, I think she's pretty excited.

By the way, NT ultrasound is part of prenatal screening for genetic defects. I'm sure everything will be fine, but if there were to be something going on I think I would rather know ahead of time.

Ok, I am so wiped out. Time for bed!

They grow up so fast

According to Babycenter.com, my baby has gone from being the size of a lentil to being the size of a kidney bean.

I am 7 weeks and 6 days pregnant, moving my due date back to May 4th. I will just have to accept that whatever magic number they give me, it is really meaningless because (s)he won't likely be born that day anyway.

In the meantime, I barfed again today, oh the joys.

And I'm craving CINNAMON. Like red hots, jolly ranchers, gum, cinnamon bears... mmm, cinnamon.

My next appointment is in 4 weeks, at which point I suppose I will be close to 12 weeks along. Wowza!

Tiny little heartbeat

Here is our first baby picture (the baby is the thing between the + signs)!

So, what's awesome about this picture is that while I was seeing it on the screen, I also got to see our baby's heart beating! Awesome!

And what's really sad about this picture is that my appointment was supposed to be at 4:30, but they called me in the morning to move it up. And the latest I could get was 3pm. And Aaron thought he could make it if he flew like the wind, but he didn't. :( I stalled and stalled, but it all just happened too fast.

Thankfully, my doc is a big fan of ultrasounds and I have another one on the 21st, and that appointment Aaron WILL be there for.

My due date based on the internet calculators was May 4th, 2010, but yesterday's measurement gives me an EDD of 5/5/2010... yes, my little Mexican baby is due on Cinco de Mayo. :)
