A Wave Hello

Well I've done a pretty terrible job of keeping up with my blog posts. I'm so disappointed in myself for not updating on a more regular basis. I don't know how I used to do it, maybe I'll chalk it up to being home more, and more energy. But I really want to make sure I don't miss out on capturing some of these exciting moments! I particularly wanted to make sure I updated at least today and then maybe I will try and back track a couple of things that happened recently.

Today was our 12 week ultrasound! We got to see the little spud again (did I mention that is what we named the baby? spud!). I was so happy we got to see the baby. When the picture comes up on the screen it's like a sigh of relief to see the baby and that it's there and growing along, cause honestly otherwise I don't really believe half the time that it's in there, I feel like I feel too good, and I've had none of the pregnancy symptoms they tell you all about.

We had the same ultrasound technician that we had last time, he's very nice. The baby however did not want to cooperate for the scan, already not listening. The baby apparently was chilling sitting up instead of lying down. We couldn't get "him" to move, the technician tried pushing on my belly a lot with the wand, he had me go to the bathroom in the middle to see if that helped get him into a better position, and also he had me try to cough to make him move, nothing, kid wouldn't budge. He was comfortable where he was, but he said he was able to get enough of the measurements that he needed for the test.

The coolest part had to be actually seeing the baby moving, so wild. Like we actually got to see the baby's arms, and legs, and the baby even picked it's arm up at one point almost like it was waving. You can already see the arm, and the little fingers. Coolest thing ever, and the baby is only about the size of a plum right now.

Even as I look at the pictures on my desk, I still can't believe this little person is growing inside of me right now. Today was such a great day all around, it makes me happy seeing the little spud. I already can't wait till the next time. More to come later when I'm not so tired, although not too tired for a small scoop of Ben & Jerry's before bed.
