12 Weeks

We got a surprise at the doctor this week! An ultrasound! We got to see you again! It was so fun to see you wiggle and move all over the place. I could hardly believe it was my belly until I laughed and could see my belly move on the screen. Still haven't bought much since we don't know what you are yet. Mommy lost 2.5 pounds so we ate at Five Guys for dinner. Your heartbeat is 164 and you're very healthy. For the last few weeks flossing can make me gag and even trying to wear my retainer. You are getting so big already. Keep growing little nugget!

Week 8

Had our first appointment this week and got to see you and hear your heartbeat! It's at 141! Which is great! Nothing felt like it was happening until we saw you! The nurse told me my uterus was enlarged, then we saw you were in there and heard your heartbeat! Very exciting! When we came in and the nurse said "Mom you sit here. Dad you sit here." First time we've heard that! Nurse Paige was SO nice! She asked if we had told family yet and knew we were waiting to tell at Christmas. Asked us how many pictures to print so we could have enough. I thought I had to take a pee test so I drank a whole water bottle when I went in. She looks in and says my bladder was too full. Went potty and came back and it was still full so it's in your first picture. Haha

When we look at your tiny little ultrasound we started referring to you as Nugget.

Week 7

Brandon had to be in Salt Lake for a business trip all this week. I kept myself busy with the Relief Society Christmas Party. I made two cookie sheets FULL of chicken that I had to finish cooking at the church and zested my thumb and peeled about 100 things if garlic by hand. Raw chicken and food in general aren't bugging me. I am not really wanting to eat sweets though which is SO weird for me! I went to a craft night and just hung out at home.

Mommy is:

.A little tired. I get home from work and spend 10-20 minutes in the car listening to the radio or reading email

.SO excited for the appointment next week!

. Hate sweets

.If I'm not eating constantly I'm either starving or don't want to eat if I wait to long

.Cant eat enough salad!

.Bloating is going down!

Baby is:

.A blueberry

.Mouth, tongue and kidneys are forming

.Arm and leg buds are popping out
