12 week Ultrasounds, and belly pic

You all have to be patient with me during my pregnancy. I'm not responding to emails or making posts on the blog like I should. Something about the extra hormones makes me feel very scatter brained lately. So at the moment I am 13 weeks pregnant. I have another OB/GYN appointment tmw which I am looking forward to, but last week I had my first trimester screening. Everything looked great. Baby is healthy and growing well. We even saw the little one open and close its hand. It looked like an active baby. Bouncing off the walls already.

The ultrasound tech said she would be able to tell the sex if we wanted to know but Ben wanted to hold out until the next ultrasound when it would be more definitive. I'm trying not to make any assumptions on what the sex might be because I was horribly wrong the first time. Tmw I will get to listen to the heart beat again, and the MD will measure me to make sure I am growing on track. I'm not to terrified about being weighed this time though because I know I weigh less now then I did when I was pregnant with Ella. Over all my first trimester symptoms have been getting better. I feel like I am more productive during the day, and not experiencing anymore "Morning sickness". Evenings can still be rough though. Which makes me a little nervous for Bens departure tmw. He is my relief in the evening time. Not only does he help take care of Ella in the evenings but he is her entertainment and the dishwasher some evenings. Ella gets all her energy out when daddy gets home from work. They chase each other up and down the house and he throws her around , while she climbs up on him like he is a jungle gym. Things that I don't have the energy for nor could I do even if I had the energy for it. But hopefully the next couple of weeks will fly by. I have been trying to make an itenarary for us to keep us out of the house and free of boredom. So .... on that note, I might actually get around to posting those Tahoe pictures I keep talking about, or the pictures from the zoo, or the Valentines party we hosted. Who knows?
But don't wait by the computer for it............ ;-)
