Week 12 - We've got pics!

We have some new pics!

I went for my first trimester screening last Thursday and they took a bunch of ultrasound pictures. We even got to see the 3D ultrasound of little McBean! That was very neat!

I can't believe how big he/she (yes....we're still not finding out the gender!) has gotten since our last ultrasound. That was only 4 weeks ago! From blob to baby! I forgot to ask how big the baby was measuring. I think it was at 2 cm or so.

The little munchkin is already putting on acts! When we first started mcbean was just laying there, relaxing. Hand behind his/her head and legs resting on it's wall! Looked just like his/her dad ;) Just kidding, Ry! Who am I kidding, you're probably not even reading this blog!

They had me cough to get it to move around, and as soon as I did, it did a little roll and mooned us. Already causing trouble! He/She did a few more kicks and then settled in again.

No belly shots this week. The camera is dead, and I'm too lazy to charge the battery. Hey! I'm pregnant, I'm allowed. I'm sure there is a running tally on how large my rear and stomach region have gotten so just imagine one or two more inches.

And baby mcbeans newest glamour shots! I know they're tiny, but if you click on them you can see them in more detail.

Chicken Nugget - 11 Weeks!

Sorry, it's been a while. I didn't have much to update until recently. Our little popcorn chicken has been upgraded to chicken nugget! He/She is about 1 1/2 inches in length right now, and weighing a quarter of an ounce!

I finally got to tell my family and it went great! At first my dad went on about not needing to get him anything, and my helped pull the first polo out of the box. Then they saw another shirt in there and pulled that one out. They both looked at me strange since there was no way my dad was fitting in a toddler size shirt. I nodded at them to keep looking at the box and there they saw the ultrasound picture! The look on my mom's face was priceless. She looked at me like I had two heads! They seemed to love how I surprised them! When I told my brother he was going to be an uncle, he looked at my sister right away and said congratulations to her, and I almost burst out laughing. She told him not to look at her! It finally clicked and he also was very excited. It was great seeing the reactions on both of our families' faces! Makes the pregnancy much more exciting.

I just had my first checkup after our first ultrasound. Everything is looking good. I'm still 11 weeks but measuring at 14 weeks. I'm praying this won't be a big baby! Heartrate was good and between 160-170! I'm feeling pretty good besides the lack of sleep, but I've got it good, I think! Ry could probably attest to a surge in hormones as well. As I've had my moments of not being too nice! But he forgives me, right Ry?

It's been pretty uneventful. So here is the obligatory belly shot! I think I'm seeing bump forming! I know my bum is getting bigger, that's for sure! That or a nice layer of insultation :)
