(Other than the incident of the bad mexican food. I can't honestly say I blame that entirely on baby....ew).
Baby is the size of a Peach this week! So cute! She or He has fingernails, taste buds, tooth buds, vocal chords and even little tiny fingerprints!
We went to see the Doctor this week and were able to hear baby Nelsons sweet little heartbeat. The Doctor gave us this big long shbeal about how we shouldn't panic if we don't or can't hear it right away, or if we need to move to ultrasound to see it. (Always comforting). He also explained that it usually takes a few minutes to find it.
Well baby Nelson has the heart of an ox! He barely touched me and BAM! There it was! Totally surprised the Doc! He congratulated us on having such a strong, healthy baby. ("Thank you! Yeah... it was all me...you know... haha...!") Must be from climbing all those rocks or something!
But really that was pretty cool. After finding it so fast he said that it decreases the chances of miscarriage down to 1%. Also, it was a pretty fast little heartbeat... so far the majority of the old-wives tales point to a girl...but we'll see!
There is more of a visible bump this week and seems to be more permanent.
(Not just when I eat). Still feeling awesome and the fatigue is starting to dissipate. Time to get my work-out on!
So here we go into the second tri. If it's anything like the first it will be a piece of cake!
(I could go for some of that...)
