Baby is in it's 13th week

This picture is taken at 12 weeks 4 days.  Little bump growing there.  Because the brain is growing so big currently the baby's head is taking up half it's length.  Soon the rest of the parts will catch up! When baby is born the head will be about the quarter of the size of baby.  This week the liver is making bile, the pancreas is pumping out insulin, and the kidneys hone their waste carrying tactics.  The intestines have left the umbilical cord and have returned to the body.   I have my appetite and haven't been sick at all (knock on wood).  No other symptoms besides being tired!!

11 weeks 4 days

Here is our ultrasound picture from our appointment on Tuesday.  Everything looked good and the Doctor said baby looked super healthy.  Baby is growing 4 days ahead so that's pretty awesome!! My next appointment will be in 6 weeks but havent been able to make the appointment yet.  May 24th we will try to find out the sex at fun fetal photo, they do it at 16 weeks here.  Everything else is good and we will take another picture next week :)

In our 11th week

Ok this is 10 weeks 1 day.  We are in our 11th week.  Went to orientation today to learn how to be pregnant.  It was pretty boring but we got a bunch of free samples.  Tomorrow we finally get to see baby at 8am.  I'll update here sometime in the afternoon once I get to work.  We decided we will announce to everyone else tomorrow as well.  So depending what the ultrasound looks like I'll post it here and probably facebook.  I'll be sending the picture around to the rest of my family to let them know we are pregnant.  They say once you hear a healthy heartbeat you should be out of danger so hopefully we can hear one tomorrow.  
Right now the fingers and toes are starting to form.  That's really the only change with baby this week.  After tomorrows appointment I'll be calling this 4d ultrasound place to schedule an appointment to find out the sex.  Base doesn't guarantee finding out the sex but this place will and it's only $80.  Since we only get 2 ultrasounds and Corey missing the birth we want to see baby as much as possible before hand.
I'm feeling a lot better just super tired still!

In our 10th week

So as most of you noticed we skipped a week.  Nothing is wrong we just got busy, tired, distracted, and lazy! I kept forgetting to get Corey to take my bump picture which is what slowed down me righting that weeks entry.  I thought about taking a picture this week for last week but then I'd have two in a row.  So this Sunday I will take my 10 week picture and we will just move forward! :) I hope everyone had an amazing Easter!!
I have been feeling super tired but having trouble sleeping through the night but I think the 12 hours I got on Friday helped me catch up.  I hope this week is easier on me sleep wise!! Other then that things are great.  I finally had some energy to work out so I'm hoping I can stick with it this week!
This week baby's ears are taking shape, ready to slide into position as they head grows larger.  The eyes, still on either side of the head, are looking good, with the basic optical structure in place.  Eyelids are starting to cover little one's peepers.  Teeth buds have emerged as well.  Baby is now the size of a green olive!
The dogs are getting a long great we are just working on Clover feeling completely comfortable in the house!! Hopefully tonight she will sleep straight through!!
Hope everyone is doing great! Dr appointment on next Tuesday finally!
