Tid Bit.

Here is what www.iVillage.com has to say about the baby right now..:

"Your baby is now about three-and-a-half inches long and weighs about two ounces. His or her neck is complete, and your baby even has fingerprints.

He or she is beginning to move around in the amniotic fluid, which, by the way, replenishes itself every three hours. Fetal movement, or "quickening," can occur as early as this week, so be alert for fluttering sensations in your belly. If you can't feel them, however, don't worry, they're more likely to occur between the 18th to 22nd week. In subsequent pregnancies, fetal movement usually is felt earlier."

I am unsure of how long it will be to feel the baby, but so look forward to it. In the meantime I hope to get some update photos of Jon and I on here. Hope all of you are well.

Ultrasound!!

Our first ultrasound was last Wednesday January 9th. Here's the pic. The baby's head is on the left, body is in the middle, and you can even see his/her left hand fingers above his abdomen. :)
This was taken at 11 weeks and 5 days along and he is 2 inches from head to rump. Isn't he sweet!


What a joy!

Christmas Pic and update.

This is our Christmas party pic for Jon's work. We really enjoyed the evening as we finally announced to the command that we are expecting and also enjoyed winning golf balls in the Chinese Gift Exchange.

As far as "update", Jon and I are headed to the OB today. This will be my third appointment, but today is different because we will hear the heart beat today. We were supposed to have an ultrasound also but are unsure if we are going to be able to do this today based on insurance. We will not know until we speak with the doctor. I am eleven weeks and five days along right now and will technically be in the second trimester on Saturday. Jon has been supportive as my symptoms especially nausea had continued non-stop up until six days ago. Now the nausea just comes on for a few hours in the late afternoon/early evening, but either way it can be quite debilitating. It is not fun at all. We are just so thankful that these symptoms are a daily reminder that we have a little Nelson growing inside me and what a blessing that is!
