3D Picture of Baby's face 8/17/07, 19 weeks pregnant

When the doctor saw this picture she said that it looked like the baby had a little butt chin like Chris! I was so excited and hope she is right!

Baby's legs 8/17/07

This one is also funny because this is how I sleep with my feet crossed and bent in. The poor little one seems to be pigeon toed like Mama. We were laughing because the baby was incorporating the way we both sleep. It's definitely our baby!

This one is really funny, and our favorite, because this is how Chris sleeps with one hand on his face.

17 weeks 5 days baby picture

On August 7th we got to have an ultra sound and got a more recent picture of the baby! Chris has gone with me to every appointment so far which has been so great. At this appointment we weren't expecting to get an ultra sound, so we were really excited. As you all may know, we aren't going to find out what the baby's gender is until he or she is born. So, Chris made sure our doctor knew that as we were having the ultra sound. In the middle of the ultra sound our doctor said, "Oh I know what you're having!" I wanted to know so badly and kept begging Chris the rest of the appointment, but he didn't give in. I pouted for a little while, but I got over it. It was so neat to see our little one so much bigger than the last time. The part that was the best was seeing the little face looking up at us. We saw the eyes and little nose, the heart beating and all the movements (he or she is an active one). I have another appointment on this Friday the 17th for all the measurements of baby so I will post more pictures from that ultrasound when I get them.

Baby's first picture & updates about pregnancy

We had our first ultrasound on June 12th! Our little one was moving hands and feet, was turning a little. We got to hear the heart beat, that was really neat! I think it really made it real for both of us. Chris wants to own an ultrasound machine so he can see our little one moving all the time. Before we know it we will, Lord willing, be able to hold our little bundle of joy and gaze at him or her as much as we want! Praise the Lord for this amazing blessing of pregnancy!
We found out that we were pregnant on May 7th. Since then, it has been a whole new experience for both of us! I have been more tired than ever. Morning sickness showed up right on schedule, and out of nowhere for me. I really wished for about a week that I didn't have to eat for the rest of my life! Nothing ever sounded good to eat, and I was starving, and so the story goes. Chris did a great job of tending to my every need, even if it meant running out to get whatever sorta sounded ok to eat at that very moment. I'm glad that phase is pretty much over now.
I am currently 12 weeks along. Food is sounding much better now and I am getting more energy here and there. Fruit appeals to me the most as well as anything sweet:). I have a hard time getting my protein in, it seems that the baby like carbs, at least for now. I've noticed my tummy getting bigger, it's not completely obvious yet to everyone else, but I can tell, and so can Chris. We even bought a couple of maternity items already. We have another appointment in 2 weeks. We will keep you all updated!
Love, the Morloks
