12 weeks and counting...

Today I had my consult visit with the high risk OB in Roanoke. He was very nice and reassuring! I was also able to have another ultrasound and hear the heart beat. I don't have much of a "baby bump" yet but I'm getting there. Right now I basically look like I've had one too many doughnuts. I did invest in a little lifesaver today called a Be Band. It is a stretchy band you can put over your jeans so you can wear them unbuttoned but they still stay in place. I had started having to unbutton my jeans some so I'm excited about having this little invention. As I'm approaching my 2nd trimester I am FINALLY starting to feel a little better! I still can't eat much meat but I have more of an appetite and don't get nauseous as often (praise the Lord!). I will have a fetal echo around 21 weeks and we are scheduled to find out if we are having a boy or girl on November 2nd...I can't wait!

Baby Crisp was being stubborn this morning and didn't want to cooperate but after a little coaxing by the ultra sound tech the baby had a little fit and started moving around like crazy. It is so strange to see the baby move on the screen but still not feel it... maybe in a few weeks!

This picture shows the outline of the face a little better...
