Doc said 11 weeks!!

I am older than I thought!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to the doctor today, Mommy and Daddy got to hear my heartbeat and my doctor is soo cool! My heartbeat was so strong, my doctor was VERY proud of me. He also told Mommy and Daddy that the information she got about her Bicornuate Uterus is only "possible". He assured them to not stress out because I am almost done with the 1st trimester and I am a lot safer now! I am 11 weeks this week instead of 10. Mommy and Daddy were so excited to hear my heartbeat. Mommy thought she would cry but she didn't. She was too excited, she had the biggest smile on her face. Daddy couldn't stop smiling either, he told the doctor, "Whoa...that just totally made this feel real!"

This is exciting news! I am now a lime!

I am moving and kicking up a storm too! I am not big enough yet for mommy to feel me but she is totally struggling to find clothes that fit her and are comfortable. At work yesterday, Mommy had a good laugh with the girls because Mommy said I was making her have a muffin top/inner tube! Haha. Mommy is so silly! She likes it though, she knows I am there. She hopes to get some shopping done soon for some new pants!

Some of my bones in my body are starting to harden too, and I have little teeth buds forming in my gums! Those wont be around for awhile though! I also can hiccup now. Mommy cant feel them yet, but soon!

We have our next appointment with the doctor on April 27th! I will be 15 weeks then! THEN the big one happens the next month! It should turn out perfectly for a trip home for Mommy and Daddy. I will be 19 weeks the week before we all go home for Memorial Day and I should be able to surprise EVERYONE about what I am! I cannot wait!! I am so excited to meet all of my family and friends. I can't wait to have Grandma's and Nana's and Grandpa's and Papa's and Great Grammy's and Great Grampy's and Aunties and Uncles and All of it! I am so excited!

Alright everyone I will see you for another update next Tuesday!

Love you!

10 weeks today!

Hello Everyone!

I am sorry I missed you last week! It was super busy for Mom and I! I have already traveled to now 2 different states! I have been to Minnesota and Georgia! Georgia was really fun. I turned 9 weeks old when I was down there with Mommy. We were visiting my Auntie and Uncle and 2 cousins!  Mommy surprised them about me when she was down there because she doesn't get to see them very often! They are very excited to meet me!

I have grown a bunch since you last heard from me! I am officially over 1 inch long! Mom can see me starting to push her tummy out a little bit. I am about the size of a Prune right now. Mommy doesn't really like prunes, but my great grandma Anna loves them! She says she keeps thinking of her when she thinks about how big I am! Mommy's baby website told her that I have completed the hardest part of growing and I now am officially a fetus! My organs are going to start growing at a really quick rate and I will nearly double in just a few short weeks! I am starting to grow my finger nails on my itty bitty hands and toes and some peach fuzz is growing from my skin now! Mommy says that's a good thing since I live in cold Grand Forks, ND!

Mommy still has been feeling pretty good. She has nausea still and the plane rides to and from Georgia were really tough on her. She already gets motion sickness pretty easily and I about tripled that for her...sorry Mommy. I am still making her pretty tired and mommy is finding it harder and harder to get up and down now! Other than that, Mommy is doing really good!

Can you believe I finally get to see the doctor this week?!?! Mommy and Daddy are so excited to hear my heartbeat. I hope the doctor find me okay! I can't wait to show them how strong my heartbeat is!

We have a lot going on this weekend too! Daddy's Birthday is this following Monday and we are going home to Minnesota to surprise all of our families and friends about me! We are very excited and are hoping our families will be too! I will let you know how it goes next Sunday!!

Love you all!

8 weeks today...8 months to go!

Good Morning World!!


Boy o Boy have I been busy. I am growing like a storm! I now have eyelids covering my eyes! I also don't look as much as a little alien that I used too, my little tail is now gone! The tubes in my throat are just about to my newly developed lungs, I can't wait for mommy and daddy to hear my pipes!

I have upgraded yet again to a new food, and it happens to be one of mommy's favorite fruits! I am a RASPBERRY! Yummy! I am growing so big and strong and am working very hard to see everyone. I cannot wait to meet you all!

Mommy has been feeling okay lately. Little dizzy here and there, still no morning sickness (knocking on wood), minimal swelling. She is doing great! She has been really busy at work so it has been hard for mommy to find the time to sit and relax, but she is trying her best. Daddy has been the best ever helping Mommy out. He is so awesome, I can't wait to meet him. He talks to me sometimes even though I can't hear him just yet, I know he is there. My ears are developing this week so I can hear him soon!!

Well, Mommy heads to Georgia at the end of this week to visit her brother and sister in law and there two kiddos. I can't wait to be able to play with them!! They seem very fun. I just can't wait to meet all of my family! Soon enough ALL of the families will know that I am on the way! We are waiting until April, it seems like a good month!

Alright world, I will talk to you next week. Until then, take a walk by the produce and look for raspberries! Thats me!!!

7 weeks!

I am 7 weeks old today! I am growing mighty strong and mom has been noticing! Her clothes are starting to get a lot tighter...uh oh! I have still been making mommy really tired but that is the most of it. No sickness yet, other than the occasional dizzy spell here and there! Mommy said she would rather have that than be "sick".

Last week, do you remember how I was the size of a sweet pea?! Now I am the size of a Blueberry!!!! Mom still calls me her sweet pea though, and that's okay with me. My hands and feet are starting to grow from my arm and leg buds...I am pretty excited about that so I can really start to let mommy know that I am in here!! Mommy keeps saying she can tell now, but I want to make it known! My brain has 2 hemisphere's now too, and I grow 100 new cells every minute! Awesome huh? I am working so hard on growing for mommy and daddy!

Mommy has been feeling a lot better than she was last week. She has had no more abdominal pain or spotting and things seem to be progressing well! She is just super super sleepy! Daddy got sick again this week. He has been really sick 3 times this winter and luckily mommy hasn't gotten sick. Daddy had a really bad fever and has stayed away from mommy for a couple days to make sure he doesn't get us sick! I miss him though, but he is getting better so now I can spend more time with him!

Well world, until next week! I can't wait to update you again...I love what I grow into next week and so does Mommy!!
