Perfect Doctor's Visit!

Perfect!  Irby and I were able to see the baby today!  It has grown to 1 inch!  You can see in the photos that the baby now has arms and legs... it no longer looks like a bean.  The doctor showed us the brain, spinal cord, placenta and umbilical cord.  The most amazing thing was seeing the baby move.  It wiggled several times!  :)  Now the heartbeat is 170 beats per minute. 

9 Week Bump!

So Irby had to point out that "the bean" is officially past my ribcage.  I actually had to undo one of my jean buttons to eat all my food at Olive Garden on Sunday.  (I think this is the only time in my life I will be glad when my jeans are getting a little tight). We are excited, especially since we have another ultrasound on Thursday.  I will post the pics later Thursday.  :)

8 Week Bump!

Sorry I didn't take a picture of week 7.  I've been a little under the weather with all-day nausea!  :( So here's a picture of the baby bump at week 8! 

First Doctor's Appointment!

The appointment went really well.  We found out that I might not be as far along as I thought.  By measurements, they think that I am around 6 weeks 3 days.  Here are a couple pictures along with the heartbeat.  Irby thinks that the baby looks like a kidney bean, so I think we are calling it "the bean" for right now.  :) The picture on the bottom is the baby and the heart rate.

First Belly Picture!

This one is for you Claire! :)  Irby and I took this picture last night thinking that I was 7 weeks.  However, after our first doctor's visit they think that I am 6 weeks 3 days today.  Soooo... I guess we can call this picture 6 weeks pregnant instead of 7. :)

6 weeks today!

So I have decided to start a blog on our pregnancy because we are wayyyy out here in Lubbock while most of our friends and family are East.  This way I can post pictures and keep everyone updated on how baby Baudouin is doing.  :)  We are soooo excited and thrilled about our upcoming new addition!
