How far along: 12 weeks, 5 days
Size of baby: Size of a lime
Maternity Clothes: The baby belly has begun to grow. Bought my first maternity clothes on my birthday, June 1st!
Gender: Unknown at this point
Movement: Although the baby is moving around in there, I still can't feel a thing.
What I miss: My energy!
Cravings: Mostly spaghetti and sweets!
Symptoms: I'm still tired a lot but the grouchiness is going away. Still no morning sickness! Woo hoo!!
Our second appointment was on June 6, 2011, the day after my older sister's birthday. Since today was the day we were going to have the first ultrasound, my husband and I decided that today was also the day we would tell the world about our little baby. To this point, we had really only told some family members and close friends.
This appointment was much easier than the first one. The nurse squirted some warm liquid on my belly and began the ultrasound. What an amazing sight! We could see a lot of our baby's little features on that black and white screen. The baby was moving around a lot! It looked as though he/she may have had the hiccups! We could see the arms, hands and even the little fingers. We could see the nose, mouth, eye sockets and ears. Everything was so distinct already.
So there we are. Physical proof that a baby lies within. Although exciting, I will say that hearing the heartbeat was so much more exciting than seeing the first ultrasound. I can't really explain why. Maybe because the heartbeat is the first sign of life. It doesn't much matter because we are just so excited to have this little baby growing!
