Baby Dos is a Plum!

I found a website (www.thebump.com) that shows the size of your unborn baby compared to a piece of fruit. This week Baby Dos is the size of a plum. Cool!

12 Weeks

Well, I've officially made it into the 2nd trimester. I've never really known whether it's 12 weeks or 13 that marks the end of the 1st trimester, but womanshealth.gov (the federal website) declares that my 2nd tri started on Saturday so I'll go with that! :-) We go back to the doctor on Wednesday to hopefully hear the heartbeat instead of just see it. If you get a chance, please pray that the appointment will go well and I'll stop being so anxious about it! :-)

Here's my 12 week belly pic. Not much growth yet!

Take a guess at the sex of Baby Dos!

We did this game when I was pregnant with Ella and it was a lot of fun to see what people guessed. Please play again this time around and take a guess at the sex of Baby Dos. You can find the game at http://www.expectnet.com/games/BabyW2. We have our gender ultrasound on Dec. 20th so only 4 short weeks until we find out! :-)

Ponytail

Ella's hair is finally long enough to put it in a little ponytail. We tried it out tonight and she liked it once I got her to sit still long enough for me to put it up. Then we got out her pink baseball hat and she really thought she was something! She loved taking the hat off and then putting it back on again. What a little stinker.

Belly Pictures

I know I promised in a comment a while back that I would start weekly belly pictures last week and I just kept forgetting to take one. So we finally took one today and I have one from 6 weeks to compare. Not much to show yet! It took me until about 26 weeks to really "pop" last time. It will be interesting to see if I show earlier this time. We had a really wonderful, HUGE meal at Bonefish last night. I should have taken one after that...I looked about 6 months pregnant!

11 Weeks:

11 Weeks with Ella (already in maternity clothes and totally not needing them yet! I was so excited...bless my heart ;-))

Baby Dos at 11 Weeks

I found this image on the internet today and thought I would share (note: this isn't a picture of our baby). Even at only 11 weeks gestation, the fetus already looks so much like a little baby. Isn't God amazing?!?!

Playing Dress-up

Normally while I blow-dry my hair and put on make-up I put Ella in her pack 'n play to contain her. This morning I decided to give her a little freedom and let her run around in our room. I looked over to check on her and this is what I found:

She had gotten into my swimsuit drawer and proceeded to put on just about every article of clothing. And was so happy about it! It made me laugh out loud. :-)
