Week 12

Cody and I found out we are having baby number one in late March (I think it was the 26th). I had my first ultrasound last Friday, the 17th, and I am now nearing the end of week 12. My doctor gave me the due date of December 1, 2013. I was sick since week 5 but am finally starting to feel better I think. I crave any fruit (but especially rhubarb) and most vegetables that aren't included in a basic salad. My sense of smell is off the charts. I still have to hold my breath to open a spice cabinet or the refrigerator. I think I'm starting to get a bump, as my pants don't button any more, but it's not noticeable to most people yet.

As for the ultrasound, we got to see our little baby for a few minutes. He/she moves a lot! When our doctor was showing us the baby it would flail it's arms and legs the whole time. It was hard to get a heartbeat because my doctor would find it and we could hear it for a couple seconds, but then the baby would flip over and we would have to find the heartbeat again. I joke and say we have our little ADHD baby. I don't feel any movement yet inside me, only little cramps. Cody and I can't wait to have our little baby here in a little over six months!

Here are the pictures from the ultrasound. Some look pretty similar so I'm sorry if it looks like there are repeats.
