9 Week Appointment

A few weeks ago I had my first prenatal appointment. Jason was able to leave work for a while so that he could come, and we brought Talan with us too so he could see the baby on the ultrasound. I was just anxious to see the ultrasound and make sure the baby was there and growing and thriving.

According to the baby's measurements at this appt., the baby was at 8.5 weeks gestation, as opposed to my original calculation of 9.5weeks. But the measurement is an approximation and can be off by a week or two. My next prenatal appointment is the last week of September. I will be approximately 14+ weeks pregnant by then so the baby will have grown a huge amount so we will be able to see more of the detail of the baby's head, limbs, and hopefully a lot of movement.

Today I'm 12+ weeks. It seemed like overnight my belly pooched out and so in my opinion I definitely look pregnant. It happened sooner than I was expecting, even though all of my mom friends told me it happens sooner after the first! But it's that stage where maternity clothes are too big, but regular clothes fit poorly and definitely feel uncomfortable. Dresses have become my current best friend..thank goodness for the empire waist!

9 .5 weeks pregnant, from the waist up that is!!
