We are having a....



....baby girl!! I am not sure what the second photo is of, but apparently it was how they could tell. Right now the heartbeat is 154, and the baby weighs an estimated 10 oz!

The baby was all curled up in a ball so her feet were up by her face and they had a hard time getting the measurements needed for radiology and the doctors. Everything is looking normal other than my placenta is currently low-lying, so they said they'll have to check it later on in the pregnancy to make sure it isn't blocking the cervix. Hopefully as my uterus expands, the placenta will move up along with it.

I finally got my first set up maternity pants this past week- I was wearing dresses and a belly-band to wrap around my non-maternity unbuttoned pants, but finally decided that it would be more comfortable to at least have one set of jeans, shorts, and work slacks.

In terms of how I have been feeling- the first trimester I was tired a lot and had a week where I felt a little queasy and a week where I had bad heartburn. Otherwise, everything has been going well. I do have a hard time sleeping through the night- mostly because I wake up needing to use the restroom or feeling incredibly dehydrated.

A busy week with lots of big news! I fly out to DC tomorrow to see Adam!!
