Three Men & Me

I am 12 weeks today and I am slightly dissapointed that I still have another week before I am in my 2nd trimester....I really thought that was today...oh well:) Look how big my uterus must be getting....and the baby!!!!

Okay, so I know I have been slacking, but there is really nothing to talk about. I am in a lull. I have no fun appointments, no ultrasounds...nadda!! The only thing I do have is this extra padding in my midsection. I am all about getting a baby belly, but this in between stuff is for the birds....I got muffin top out of this world!!! I spend most of my time at work sitting here with my pants undone:) Thank God long shirts are in, I would be in some big trouble if crops were the thing...who am I kidding, if I wore a crop right now I would look like Joe Dirt with a beer belly hanging out...the only thing missing would be the mullett.

Tomorrow I will be 12 weeks, but I jumped the gun thinking I would be out of my first trimester. Officially, I will not be in my 2nd trimester until I finish the 12 weeks....so one more week.

My next chance to see bun-bun will not be until the week of January 12th when we should be able to find out if bun-bun is a "breadstick" or "dinner roll":) Then the fun can begin. As of now, this still seems surreal, but once we know the sex we can start looking at bedding and furniture and cute little baby clothes...awwww!!!

I am so excited for Thanksgiving, I can not believe that it is only two days away!! I can not believe that December will be here in less than a week....I am so close to finishing this first trimester!!!

Here is the latest picture of our little bun at 10 weeks:) You can make out the facial structure, though it looks a bit scary....like a little alien:)

We are in our tenth week...which means that we have completed 1/4 of this pregnancy....only 30 weeks to go:) By the end of this week our bun will graduate out of the embryonic period and into the fetal period:)



I have to admit that my pants are getting a little snug...I guess that just gives me an excuse to go shopping:)

Off to Chicago this afternoon!!

We had our 10 week u/s this afternoon. Everything is measuring right where it should be. We got to do a jelly on the belly ultrasound today (less intimidating than "THE WAND") and I have to say that I am a little disappointed with the quality of the pictures:( The vaginal ultrasound's are so clear and the belly ones are so blurry....boo.

I guess I shouldn't complain because after all, I got to see our little bun!! It's heartrate was beating away at 171 bpm and most exciting, we got to see it's arms and legs move. It kept lifting it's one arm up and down and the tech said it was waving at us, however, it looked more to me like it might have been rapping in utero...that's right, we have a rapping bun!!! I do feel somewhat sorry for it b/c it is going to be extremely hard to find a word that rhymes with uterus:)

On a more serious note, the tech did see a very small subchorionic hematoma...also known as a blood clot in the uterus. She did not seem concerned and when we spoke with the doctor he seemed to think that it was small and not concerning. He stated that most likely it will bleed itself out or it will be absorbed....I am hoping for the latter. He mentioned that if it bleeds itself out there could be some spotting...if this happens at least I will be prepared, but I am sure I would still freak out.

I do not have another ultrasound until 18 weeks and at that point we can find out the sex of our little bun!! WOO HOO!!! 8 weeks....seriously, let me see what I can do about that:):)

I will try to post the most recent pics later, they are not the best.
