Week 13 and the End of the First Trimester
WOW! I can't believe it has been 12 weeks since Josh and I found out we were going to have a new addition to our family in August. The morning sickness is finally over and I am starting to get my energy back (at least Monday through Friday haha).
Wee Little Pinkey is about three inches long, close to the size of a peach. He/she is growing very rapidly right now, and its body is trying to catch up with its head in terms of size. Baby's intestines are also in for some big changes right now. They are moving to their permanent address inside the abdomen. His/her vocal cords are developing this week. We will not be able to hear anything now, but don't worry when baby is born those chords will get a good workout. Hopefully from laughing and not crying ;)

One of the Many Amazing things that comes with the joy of having a baby!
On Tuesday Josh and I went to the doctors for the second time. This was a "big" appointment because we were going to hear the heart beat for the first time. As I laid down on the table I didn't know what to imagine. Words can not describe what I felt when I heard our Wee Little Pinkey's heart beat for the first time. I looked at Josh's face and he had the biggest grin from ear to ear. I wish I had one of the machines they use so I could hear the heart beat every day!
The doctor said the heart beat was very fast and very good!!!
Everyone tells you what an amazing feeling you will have once you are pregnant but I never imagined it would be like this. All the morning sickness and tiredness is all worth it when you get to hear that little heart beat and knowing that a little baby is growing every day into an amazing human being.

Baby's First Shopping Trip
My mom and dad came up to Virginia Beach this weekend to go to see Blue Man group, which was amazing for those of you who haven't seen it, I definitely recommend going. Today my mom took me to motherhood to buy a few outfits. While we were waiting for the store to open we walked through Macy's just to "waste time". That was until we cane across the baby section and saw all the awesome deals they had on baby outfits. My mom got "Wee Little Pinkey" four different outfits (neutral styles) that were too cute to pass up and I got baby three different outfits, one of which was a yellow terrycloth bath robe. This baby is going to be the best dressed baby in town!!!
Week 12
Last Week of the First Trimester and I think the morning sickness if finally over if I could just get my energy back. We have a doctors appointment Tuesday where hopefully we will hear Wee Little Pinkey's heart beat.
This week the baby is almost fully formed and is about 2.5 inches long weight half an ounce; the size of a large plum. He/she will soon begin to open and close its hands into fists and tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under the games. Some of the bones throughout the body are beginning to harden. Baby is very busy kicking and stretching (mom still can't feel any movements yet), and these tiny movements are so effortless that it looks like water ballet. The diaphragm has formed which is causing baby to hiccup which mom won't notice for a few more months.

I couldn't resist!
Josh and I have decided that because there are so many few surprises in life we are not going to find out the sex of Wee Little Pinkey. While this is going to be hard because we won't be able to buy "Boy" or "Girl" clothes it is going to be all worth it in the end. Anyways, I heard all they wear at the beginning is onesie's anyways and I am counting on Mimi and Aunt Catherine to buy him/her very stylish clothes.
I did however buy Wee Little Pinkey's "Going Home From the Hospital" outfit Friday. I have seen this onesie for the past year and it has to be one of the cutest things ever and I couldn't resist buying it. :) I am sure the "Going Home From the Hospital" outfit will change between now and then but it was the only way I could convince myself that it was okay to buy it! :)

Week 11
Wee little Pinkey has completed the most critical part of development. He/She is about the size of a lime. Fingernails and toenails are growing this week as well as peach fuzz hair. Baby is starting to swallow fluids and is kicking up a storm (mom still can't feel though). Baby can now bend his or her hands at the wrist and meet over the heard and the feet may be long enough to meet in front of the body. The outline of the spine is clearly visible and spinal nerves are beginning to stretch out from the spinal cord. Our baby's forehead temporarily bulges with his or her developing brain and sits very high on the head. The head measures half the length of his or her body. From that genius brain to baby's rump, baby is about 1 1/4 inches long and will nearly double in size this week.
This week, Daddy took pictures of mommy's bump but mom can't find her cord to upload them to the computer. As soon as she finds her cord you will begin to see pictures of me.
