13 Weeks

Sorry about week 12, I thought that I had taken a picture but it turns out I did not. During week 12 I had a lot going on. I went to the grocery store and came home to find a snake in our backyard. Skippy (our dog) was trying to play with it and I was freaking out. Needless to say when someone else got here the snake was nowhere to be found.

WEEK 13
This picture was taken in the middle of the day at 13 weeks and 6 days. As you can tell there is a little small bump there. Ben keeps asking me when its going to get big and I keep saying hopefully not till the end. We are both very excited and have decided that we are going to find out the sex of the baby. I have some friends saying boy and some friends saying girl from their experiences. I am lucky that I have not had any morning sickness throughout the first trimester and now we are heading into the second trimester. Time seems to be going by really fast and before we know it we will be at our second doctors appointment on July 3rd.

We were so excited about our 1st doctors appt today at Eglin. We got to hear the babies heartbeat and we got to see our beautiful baby waving his or her hand at us and telling us hi. It was so cute. The babies heart rate today was at 167, and everything was great. I hope that everyone enjoys the pictures that we recieved today, I know that we can't stop looking at them.

8 WEEKS

Bump

I figured that Ben and I would document my growing bump each week via this amazing chalkboard I came across at a antique store. This is the first picture that we have taken and it is 8 weeks and 1 day. I wouldn't say that it is necessarily a cute baby bump yet. The estimated due date that we have at this point is December 19, 2012. We are both very excited. Our first appointment to see the doctor will be in a little less than 2 weeks on May 23rd. So far I have not craved anything, unless I see someone eating a certain food that of course we do not have in the house on TV.  However, my energy level has def been low. Sleeping really late or taking a nap seems like a necessity at this point. I will be very happy when I get some energy back (I am sure that Ben will also). This is the first time that I have ever blogged about anything and I am still getting that feel for it. However, expect new pictures every week and here is to our happy and exciting journey.
