12 wks today- YAH YAH YAH!!

Happy dance!! I'm sooo excited!! I'm now in my 2nd trimester!! Not only am I 1 step closer to being a MOMMY but it's said the 2nd trimester is much easier, you get alot of your energy back, and I should start showing more. Right now I just feel like a bloated chubby girl. I still haven't taken any pics of my belly, which I'm now kinda depressed about. I wish I would have taken pics of my tummy when I 1st found out so I could see the progression. Oh well.. I'm gonna start 2night, I promise!! If they dont turn out too bad, I'll post them tomorrow! We'll see :D

My baby is now almost 2.5 inches long and will weigh between 8-14 grams. She/he has more than doubled in the past 3 wks! The most dramatic developement this week: reflexes. Baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, the little toes will curl, the eyes will clench, and the mouth will make sucking movements. The eyes have now moved from the side of the head to the front, and the ears are now right where they should be. It is finally developing to look like a normal little baby.

We go in tomorrow to hear the heartbeat on the doppler and I'm really excited!! I'm also a little nervous cause I've heard stories of ppl going in and there not being a heartbeat. Staying positive though cause I know little baby M will be GREAT and this is going to be the MOST amazing birthday present ever! Hope everyone has a very blessed day!

You remind me I should probably start taking belly pics too.. As much as I don't want to share them lol. CONGRATS on 12 weeks :D

BTW, where did you get this blog skin? It's too cute! I've seen a couple like it but no where where to get it.
