First Check up!

We had our first real checkup last night, which was quick and easy. We just talked with the doctor, got a blood & urine test, and then she tried to hear the heart beat. Unfortunately, we couldn't hear it...I'm only 10 1/2 weeks though, so she said it's just a little too early. We go back for our next check up on April 24th and will have our first ultrasound. She'll do this to check and make sure the baby is developing well and hopefully to find out the gender! (It may be too early) We really want to find out so we can start shopping and picking names out, but we may have to wait a little longer. SO pray our child will not be modest (just this one time) and will bear-all for their picture! My morning sickness has turned from "all-day" sickness to just "night-sickness" plus my morning gagging/puking routine! So please pray it will end soon! It is a blessing though (I've read) because morning sickness is one sign that your pregnancy is progressing well. But still, I'd rather it go away soon! Only 2 1/2 more weeks until the 2nd Trimester!

10 Weeks!!

We're 10 weeks along now! Only 30 more to go?? Oh man! So right now we've got a 2 1/2 inch long baby, with real toes and fingers (no more webbed feet!). His/her head makes up half the size of its body (we hope that ratio evens out before delivery!) and its male (or female) parts are almost fully formed and showing! I'm not really supposed to be "showing" much yet, but I am! It's probably mostly bloating but either way I look the part. Nikki wanted some belly pictures so here's the first ones! I'm trying to get Kit to work on his too; so I won't feel so fat and sorry for myself in a few months! (He's pushing out much harder than I am!)

Boy or Girl???

Put in your bets now! We'll hopefully find out the baby's gender on April 17th, so let us know what your guess is before then. We'll think of a prize for the winners! Maybe an annoying wood carved croaking frog from the night market or something! You can also put in your input for possible baby names here. We are open to suggestions!
