What a picture is worth

I am sitting here staring at this photograph and I can hardly believe that what is pictured in it is actually inside of me. While it has made its presence known in some (sometimes inconvenient) ways, for the most part it just does not seem like it is there. I cannot feel it moving. I am not quite showing. My fatigue symptoms disappeared a week ago (I only experienced about 5 weeks of that, thank goodness – it was rough).

As far as an update, the nugget moves, grows, and has a heartbeat that apparently is quite normal. Based on the ultrasound, as of Friday 12/12 the ultrasound tech determined our little nugget was 2 inches long and that we were 12 weeks instead of the 11 weeks 5 days previously estimated (creepy...12 on 12/12...) I think this makes the due date June 26 instead of June 28.

Our next appointment with our nurse midwife is January 5th. We probably won’t have another ultrasound until February (at 20 weeks).

And now...to celebrate our love...
