I am now in the last week of my 1st trimester and hoping that I start to feel better soon. My stomach is starting to get rounder and my mom and I went to a pea in the pod this week and bought maternity jeans. I don't need them yet but I know I will eventually. The baby is fully developed this week but only about 3 inches long (about the size of a lemon). Here's a picture of what it looks like.

We took an at home gender test during my 11th week, which tests certain hormone levels in your urine and predicts if you're having a boy or a girl. It will turn an orange/yellow color if it's a girl and forest green if it's a boy. You have to wait 10 minutes to get the results and only 82% accurate. With in 2 minutes of taking the test, ours turned very dark green. So we have to wait until week 18 to find out if it was right!

Our 3rd ultrasound!

Since everything looked good during our last visit to the doctor, I didn't have to go in for another 4 weeks. So I was 10 weeks pregnant on our next visit. During those 4 weeks of anxiously awaiting to get to see our baby again, I was eating everything in sight and feeling terrible. Fast food was appealing to me and I probably hadn't had any fast food since my freshman year of college. Nothing tastes or smells the same. Uhh! But, of course it was all worth it when we got to see how much our baby was growing. It was awesome!

Our 2nd Ultrasound

Since our baby was too little to be seen yet our doctor wanted us to come back in a week later to see if the baby was growing correctly. I made my appointment for that next Friday, which was 8 days later (I was 6 weeks along by then). When we had our ultrasound we were able to see the baby which looked like a little grain of rice, and we got to see and hear the heartbeat. It was so exciting, and cool to see how fast the little babies grow!

We're Pregnant!!

We found out we were pregnant as soon as we possibly could. I was 3 1/2 weeks along when our pregnancy tests (which I took 4 of because I couldn't believe it) were positive. I immediately made a doctors appointment for that next Thursday which was 9 days later and it felt like a lifetime. When I went to the doctor I found out I was 4 weeks and 6 days along so my ultrasound picture just showed the little sac that was forming but the baby was too little to be seen yet.
