12 Weeks and Counting

Well, I'm 12 weeks along today. Many changes are taking place, most of which I am completely oblivious to until I read about them in one of my many pregnancy books.

We had our 12 week prenatal visit on Wednesday. My blood pressure is good, and I have gained three pounds (feels like more though). We got to hear the baby's heart beat again. The heart rate is 165, which they tell me is great.

For about four weeks around Christmas time I had a little morning sickness ick. It was never really bad, nothing much to complain about, but a little noticable none-the-less. Well, that all seems to be gone. I have had almost two complete weeks of feeling close to normal; I can still get really hungry if I go too long without food and my clothes don't have as much give in them as they did a few weeks ago.

Well, I guess that's about all the information I have right now. I'll keep you posted on changes and updates.

This is the ultrasound from our first visit at 8 weeks. After seeing this I said "Well, I guess it's real." It's still hard to believe. We wont have another ultrasound for two months.
