12 Weeks!!!

We have now officially made it to 12 weeks!! Yeah! Only 1 more week and I am done with my first trimester! Oh how I never thought this day would come :) Our visit to the doctor went great. Dr. Franklin tried to find the heartbeat on the doppler but unfortunately due to my uterus' position she was unable to hear it. So she took me for an ultrasound and she was able to see it! And we were able to get an update picture of our little peanut (that's for you Auntie Karyn!)!! Okay so lets try to explain where the baby is. On the left side of the ulstraound ther eis a black area....that is my uterus. The white area on the left side of the uterus is the baby. The BIG white area on the right side of the uterus area is my placenta...the very thing that is giving my little one nutrients :)

We are very excited as the weeks pass on. Our next appointment is on April 16th! Hopefully we will be able to hear the heartbeat at that appointment. Very exciting! Last night we went and looked at cribs at Babies R Us. We have found the one that we want. Here is the picture of the crib and dresser from the company's website:

They are very sturdy and very beautiful! It will be very exciting to be able to purchase those. I can't wait until we find out what we are having so that we can pick out bedding and all that good stuff.

We have bought a few things already. We have bought some outfits, safety items (outlet plugs and cupboard things), pack of diapers and wipes, and a few other things. It is nice to be able to look at things but I can only assume it will get more fun once we find out what we are having! Also once we find out I can make a baby blanket for our little one!

Okay now we will end this blog with a picture of my baby bump :) I can't believe how much my belly has grown! Amazingly I have only gained 2 pounds this first trimester!!!!! Anyway...enjoy the belly shot! 12 weeks down...28 to go! :)
