12 weeks

my 1st trimester is coming to an end and i'm starting to feel better :) i had my ob appointment last week and everything was great, although dr. j couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler! she was confident all was well in there though, so we headed to the ultrasound room to take a peek. no wonder she couldn't find it, this baby was wiggling all over the place. we got to see a very cute little profile of the little peanut and it's arm buds moving up towards it's face. it even arched it's back up at one point like it was jumping because of something. very exciting & made it all so much more real! here's the profile shot we got...

baby's status: heartbeat was strong, but dr. j didn't count it. she was just relieved to see & hear it and watch a very active baby! by this point, everything has developed on our little one. now it's just a matter of growing & growing some more.
mom's status: gettin' a bump, for sure! feeling less nausea and just excited to begin the 2nd trimester. still haven't had any real cravings, but fruit has been a favorite...fresh pineapple= yummy!! the ponytail holder still works, but i'm thinking some maternity pants might be in the VERY near future.
