Almost through the first tirmester!

I haven't checked in much here lately. I work all day and then I'm so tired by the time I get home. So far, my summary of pregnancy is tiredness. But I'll take it. I'm really happy and excited to be pregnant.

We get to hear the baby's heartbeat tomorrow. I am so excited about that. I am 11 1/2 weeks and feel that we can finally share the news publicly after we hear the heartbeat and know that our little sprout is healthy.

Apparently, the baby is the size of a fig now.



"Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.

She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming." - babycenter.com

I will check in again soon to write about the heartbeat.
