First baby pics!!!

I haven't been able to keep up with blogging between work and extreme exhaustion... but here are the 12 week updates:

We had our first sonogram last Tues and are waiting for the results from the first trimester screening... but so far everything looks to be normal (thank God!). Here are Cornbread's first baby pics!

He/she was measuring 12 weeks & 2 days as of 3/17... 3 more days than my charting calculations but maybe Cornbread's just a fast grower ;o)

It was so amazing seeing him/her move the little arms and legs as the technician moved the sonogram probe to get the right angle for measuring the little's growth progress. It’s so crazy surreal to think this little life is living and growing inside of me! I think it has finally sunk in for D... he's gotten all protective and super gooberlishly mushy lately (hehehe). We have sent out announcement to everyone... so it's official... we are going to be parents! OMG!

It makes it more real with visible proof of the miracle growing inside (besides the constipation, mild aches and nausea). In about 4 more weeks I will start to be able to feel the little one move! I am in awww of the life we are creating!

8 weeks and exhasted...

We are now at 8 weeks and little Cornbread is the size of a raspberry. Who knew growing a berry can make you so exhasted! Still feeling bloated, constipated and perpetually drained even after a full night's sleep. I have notice a few pangs around my ute, maybe growing pains? I have my first appointment with the OB nurse on Friday. It will not be very exciting, just paper work and going over family medical history, answering questions, do's and don'ts, etc. Hopefuly I will have an esay time of scheduling the first physical exam at around 12weeks since Damen is shcedule to got TDY that same week. His insane night time work hours the next 4 weeks are going to suck becuase I am so damn exhausted all the time and he is either at work or sleeping... kinda going at it a lone for a bit.

Its raining like crazy this past week which is cramping my walking workouts. Not good since I am getting chubbier by the day LOL! I just dont wnat the weight gain to get out of control especcialy being so early on. Trying to get through this week and can't wait for my energy level to return to normal. Speaking of which... time for sleepy time!
