12 weeks

Apparently Baby Sizemore is the size of a lime this week.

This week has been good so far. 3 whole days without getting sick so let's hope I am phasing morning sickness out.

From two to three

We are happy to finally share that we are expecting our first child in March of next year. We had been planning on starting a family soon but things happened a lot quicker than we anticipated. God's plans and thoughts are higher than ours and He knows best so while we weren't planning to have a baby directly before the end of grade testing season begins we know that God is in control and is sovereign over all of this.

I am about 11 weeks and some change now and starting to get a bump. Morning sickness is not appropriately named because in the first few weeks I was nauseated ALL DAY LONG. It hasn't been until the last week or so that the sickness has been solely concentrated in the morning, however it doesn't always play fair and I still find myself hugging the toilet during other times of the day. Josh has been such a trooper during all of it and is such a great support to me. I have also had some heartburn in the evenings but Zantac typically knocks that right out and a healthy dose of chocolate milk does the trick as well. =)

I have not gained any weight so says my bathroom scale though I do feel like my belly is growing and I am eating whatever sounds good at the moment. It changes frequently and even during meals. I have mainly wanted chocolate milk, frozen icees, and salt and vinegar potato chips. Lots of healthy things you can see. The funny thing about pregnancy is that when I say I am hungry and I need to eat, I mean RIGHT NOW or it things could get rather messy. I often carry multiple snacks in my purse to avoid getting sick from getting too hungry.

I get a weekly update from babycenter.com and here is the schematic they sent me this week.

We have had one ultrasound at 7 weeks. The baby measured right on target and the heart beat was strong. I have to say that there is nothing that I can compare to hearing your baby's heart beat for the first time. It is simply amazing.

I tried to upload the ultrasound picture but blogger doesn't want to work with me right now so I'll try later.

We hope everyone is having a wonderful Labor Day holiday!
