Dr. Appointment

I had my first prenatal appointment last Wednesday and everything is going well. I just need to be drinking more water and gain back the couple of pounds I lost in my first trimester.

We heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time. It was strong at 150. We recorded it and went to Build-A-Bear to make our baby it's first stuffed animal with the heartbeat inside. I'll post pictures of it later. We'll get to have our sonogram at our January appointment! It seems so far away, but I know it will be well worth the wait.

Here's what the baby looks like this week.

Baby's about the size of a lemon, 3 1/2 inches long, and weighs 1 1/2 ounces. He or she is exercising it's facial muscles while learning all kinds of new expressions!

My belly hasn't changed much if at all this week so we'll post one next week.
