14 weeks... see that belly grow

the weeks are flying by... i can't believe we are 14 weeks (3.5 months).  in 6 more months, we will have a little one - that is crazy and still does not register completely. for all those moments that it does not sink in, i just look in the mirror and look at my bump - i can't suck in at all and it is pretty hard. no matter how much i work out, my belly just keeps growing :)
no maternity/bigger clothes just yet - i don't know how much longer i will be able to say that! 

14 weeks - thicker around the belly for sure!

hospital sonogram (nuchal translucency) - 13 weeks

after a wonderful weekend with family and finally being able to share our secret, we had another sonogram. this time we went to the hospital, which obviously has much better equipment - the sonogram is so clear. you can see the little face - OUR little baby's face! hi, little baby a... mommy and daddy already think you are adorable.
the sonogram went well and the doctor was happy with what he saw.  please no more blood draws. thanks.

sonogram - 12 weeks, 3 days

our latest sonogram was today.  this time was even more intense for me (i didn't post the first one - it just looks like a blur) because we could really see the baby's body and head and little baby legs.  as we watched the monitor, we saw the baby move and kick a bit.  of course, the heartbeat was fluttering very quickly... just amazing. 

the doctor said we are about 12 weeks, 3 days (according to the size of the baby).

the little head is on the left (it looks like there is a little nose there) - the legs are on the right, but you can't see them in this pic. we saw the legs move and kick a bit.  

it's a bump, a baby bump...

the first trimester is almost over... with 2 sonograms (adding latest picture to next post) down and a definite baby bump in the works.  

12 weeks along - a bit more of a bump. this is post-italy and paris so i am thinking the extra carbs might still be contributing, but either way, i am def a little bigger! woohooo

                  

about 9 weeks along - a bump! so excited to see proof!!! 

about 6 weeks along - still somewhat flat belly. any pudge is my own :)

finding out

february 13, 2011. the day we learned we are pregnant... i took 2 pregnancy tests just to be sure and was still in total disbelief. it was especially emotional for me because this was the same day that my uncle, doug, died 2 years ago. overwhelming.
