We wanted to introduce you to someone... our baby! I am currently 14 weeks along and we are due December 3rd. Here are some sonogram pictures to show how much growing our baby has been doing.
6 Weeks: Our baby was only about 3 mm long. That's about the size of a grain of rice. But,we could see the heart beating around 156 bpm. The baby was pretty much just a heart. It seemed like the whole thing was beating. (For those of you who can't tell, the baby is the little dot at the top of the black circle.)
7 Weeks: Our baby grew to a whoppin' 1 cm. About the size of a pea. We could start to see the arms and legs. And he/she had another great heartbeat around 160 bpm.
10 Weeks: This was the best sonogram yet. Our baby was about 1 - 1/2 inches long. The baby was moving his/her legs and arms all around like it was dancing. I think he/she kind of looks like a Veggie Tale character because you can't see the arms or legs connected to the hands or feet.
14 Weeks: We made it to the 2nd trimester! I can definitely breath a little easier now. We had a doctor's appointment today. Everything seems to be going smoothly. We heard the heartbeat around 160 bpm. But, we didn't get a sonogram today. According to my book, the baby should be about 4 inches long. He/She has been doing some major growing during the past 4 weeks. No wonder I have been so exhausted. Andrew has been so sweet and such a blessing. He takes care of the dishes and the pile of shoes at the door. And he doesn't complain when I sleep all the time.
Since I have reached the 2nd trimester, I have actually been feeling much better. I don't feel like I have mono anymore. Yay! So, hopefully I can start getting some stuff done around the house.
Our baby is due to arrive on Decmeber 3rd. So, we will have a little Thanksgiving or Christmas baby. Our next appointment is in July. We should be able to find out if it is a girl or a boy then. So, we will definitely post some more pictures then. Please keep our developing baby and us in your prayers during this exciting time.
