8 week ultrasound...

So our 8 week check-up went really well. It was really long though. We got a whole bunch of information which was really helpful. Our official due date is October 3rd, 2009. Seems so far away! It is going to be a long summer. We are set to deliver at Reston Hospital...which from what I hear is actually pretty nice. It is really close to which is nice.

Overall I am feeling pretty good. My morning nausea seems to be settling down a little bit which is nice. I am nearing the end of my 1st trimester (about 1 more month left) so that could be part of the reason I am sensing a little relief. When I went for my check-up, I hadn't gained any weight! That was great because I feel like I have. It was probably partly because I really couldn't eat a whole lot. However, my pants are starting to get a little snug :( Sweatpants are definitely more comfortable!!

We had another ultrasound done at our check-up. The baby has now quadrupled in size! She/he is about 1/2 inch big now. Hard to believe that when we go for our next check-up on March 19th she/he will be about 2 1/2 inches! Grows soooo quickly! Here is the ultrasound picture from our check-up:

If you can't tell...the "baby" is the white blob on the bottom right of the big black area (in between the two "+" symbols). Not much to see...but worth sharing!

So I have decided I am going to poll my family to see who all thinks it is going to be a girl and who thinks it is going to be a boy. I think it will be a boy, as does my mother-in-law but John thinks it is going to be a girl. May is too long of a time to find out!! The anticipation is driving me nuts! I don't know how my friend Karyn could not want to find out what the sex is when she has kids...she's crazy! :)
