You probably all know by know but Will and I are expecting on May 8, 2010. I am a few days past the 13 week mark and am just starting to feel better. It's been a 10 weeks of sickness till now but just this week things seem to be dramatically improving every day - YIPPEE!
We had our first ultrasound this afternoon and they gave us a DVD of it... its kind of slow and jerky but they do type in what you are looking at in the upper left hand corner every so often. The baby didn't really want to cooperate, it took a long time before they could get him/her to move into the right position to see what they wanted. We think for the first bit he/she was sleeping, they shook my tummy and had me walk around trying to wake him/her up - finally it worked and he/she started moving around more. He/She was constantly touching his/her face, maybe sucking fingers? Hard to tell this early. We have about 10 minutes of footage total but just put in the first 2 minutes or so.
This next one is at the end when he/she finally woke up and started moving around more. It shows some better, closer up shots of the head.
Our next ultrasound will be in early December and that is the one where they will do the sex as well - we can't wait to find out. I'm sure the pictures then will be more clear as well, since the baby will be much BIGGER by then. I'm just glad I'm starting to feel better. Poor Will - he has been FANTASTIC over the last few months... I've been so sick and tired and he has been taking care of everything without complaint. I'm sure he is just as excited that I am starting to feel better - knowing that he won't have to do everything solo anymore.
I'm just starting to get a little baby bump, although you can't really tell unless I point it out or am wearing something tight across my tummy. I'm sure over the next few weeks it will get bigger and more pronounced. I will take some pictures in the coming weeks and post them as well.
At first time seemed to be creeping by and I thought it would be forever till May.. but now things seem to have started speeding up and now that the holidays are coming..I know that time will go by quickly and he/she will be here sooner than we think!
