And Baby Makes Three

Well I really want to start getting better at posting and hopefully keeping you all updated with the pregnancy will be the motivation I need.

We found out on August 4th that after 15 months of trying we are having a baby. It has been kind of scary and stressful so far but things seem to be getting better. My bloodwork yesterday looked good and we go in for our second ultrasound tomorrow morning. I am putting my faith and trust in the Lord and I beleive everything is going to be okay with our little gummy bear! I am 7 weeks today and have been lucky enough to not have any morning sickness yet. Sometimes I feel a little nauseous but I will take that over being sick.

Here is what our baby looks like and is doing this week

Your pregnancy: 7 weeks
See the big picture
How your baby's growing:The big news this week: Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs — although they look more like paddles at this point than the tiny, pudgy extremities you're daydreaming about holding and tickling. Technically, your baby is still considered an embryo and has something of a small tail, which is an extension of her tailbone. The tail will disappear within a few weeks, but that's the only thing getting smaller. Your baby has doubled in size since last week and now measures half an inch long, about the size of a blueberry.If you could see inside your womb, you'd spot eyelid folds partially covering her peepers, which already have some color, as well as the tip of her nose and tiny veins beneath parchment-thin skin. Both hemispheres of your baby's brain are growing, and her liver is churning out red blood cells until her bone marrow forms and takes over this role. She also has an appendix and a pancreas, which will eventually produce the hormone insulin to aid in digestion. A loop in your baby's growing intestines is bulging into her umbilical cord, which now has distinct blood vessels to carry oxygen and nutrients to and from her tiny body.
