Size Does Matter

This week we saw the first real increase in the size of things. It really happened in a rather short amount of time but wow did it ever. My wife noticed that it feels like a softball. It's kind of strange but in a good way. It means life is getting on with things.

I have been asking my wife to start taking belly pics so we can see the progression and so we got some yesterday. It makes it the first day of the 16th week so we'll probably do one a month so we can compare. I think it's a good way to look back at the progress. I'll post when we get two to compare.

Amnio Visit Done!

So this wasn't as bad as was forecast. My wife and I had the Amnio done to make sure everything is going well and so far it looks good. We asked for them to try to find out if it's a boy or girl but the baby was curled up very high and was not showing very well. One of the Doctors did lean towards thinking it was a girl but we won't know for sure for another 2 weeks. That makes for a great New Years gift!

The ultrasound was very cool. They looked at a bunch if different angles and it was neat to see the head and the heart and everything. They showed the flow of the blood. Very cool.

I am still hoping that all goes well and nothing strange comes up when we get the results. I'll admit that I am starting to get more nervous. This is a feeling I have never had and it's actually pretty neat.
