15....I mean 17 weeks!

 

So, the good news is that I had my first ultrasound and Drs appt yesterday.  The baby was measured and I am 17 weeks along (slightly further than my estimation).  It was super exciting to see the heart beat and watch the baby move a bit.  Everything is looking good, and we got a couple ultrasound shots to take home.  Unfortunately the sonographer must have just clicked on any two pictures because the ultrasounds are pretty crappy.  No cute profile shot or anything, it actually looked more like a snow man with 3 blobs (NOT 3 babies, just to clarify.  The head, the belly and a leg).  Hopefully next time we'll get something cuter :) 

 

More good news is that I haven't gotten sick all week.  There were a couple close calls, but this is serious progress!  Still not much of an appetite. 

 

So, it's pretty exciting to skip ahead a couple weeks (I'm darn near the half way point).  LB is moving and I did feel something a couple nights ago.  That is really my favorite part of being pregnant, just a fun little reminder that there is a little bundle of joy in there.  Also, I don't think you ever grow out of grossing your sister out....and she was sooooo creeped out whenever Brenna moved.  hehe.  Anyway, LB weighs as much as a turnip, about 5 ounces and is about 5 inches long from head to rump.  We're really working on making the lungs and exercising them.  We're just starting to layer on the baby fat so LB will be a little chubs like  their sister was.  Baby is drinking and peeing now.

 

 

Oh and we found out the gender..............................
