Today I had my 12 week ultrasound and it was AWESOME!   The doctor said everything looked great.    The baby is 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 inches long now.  They gave us some 4D pictures and they are so cool.  Way better than regular ultrasound pictures!  It's funny though because the poor baby looks like it is super skinny!  LOL  I'm going to use that as ammunition to tell my dietician that she needs to let me eat more!  LOL

You can check out the pictures in the photo album.  (If you click on an image, it will enlarge it so you get a better view.)

Well ~ tomorrow I'll be 11 weeks.  (Although maybe I'm already 11 weeks ~ my ultrasound shows me 4 days further along than what we orginally thought)  Anyway ... we're moving right along and almost out of that first trimester.

I've got lots of appointments coming up.  Tomorrow I'm meeting with a nutrition counselor.  I'm really looking forward to that.  I think it will be very informative and helpful.  I've been trying to make better choices when I eat now since I know I'm eating for the baby too, but surprisingly, some of the things I would think are good, might not be.  The doctor was concerned about certain fruits because they contain too much sugar ~ or turn to sugar or something like that.  I've also been eating cereal for breakfast thinking that was a good way to get the milk I need, but the doctor says I'm better of eating a couple boiled eggs.  Hmmm ... Anyway, it will be interesting to see what they say tomorrow.

Also, next Tuesday I'm getting another Ultrasound!  I'm very excited about that!  They're doing a First Trimester Screening on me that's supposed to take approximately one and a half to two hours!  Should be interesting.  One of my friends had this same exam done with the same doctor recently and she got a ton of pictures from the ultrasound, so I'm excited about that!

My next OB appointment isn't until Sept. 12th.  By then, the doctor should have all my results back from the TWELVE viles of blood she took.  I think that will be an informative meeting as well.  My doctor seems to be very thorough and pro-active.  I think I like that.

Lately getting up in the morning is getting harder and harder!  I've had to be at work by 7:00 a couple times this week and it's KILLING me.  I'm so tired all the time.  I told Mikey I don't know what I'll do when the baby is born ~ I'll be cranky all the time.  He assures me that you just kinda kick in to gear and do what you gotta do.  I hope he's right ... I sure love to sleep!  LOL   But I also know I'll be excited to see and hold this little baby too.

Okay .. I guess that's it for now.  Bye!
