Sorry the pictures are so big! The top is me doing my 'belly shot'. As you can see, not much yet to fuss over, but we took one at 5 weeks and there is a bit of a difference! I have lost 5 lbs so I know it couldn't be extra weight :) We went in for our appointment today and it was so cute to see the baby, who was facing us. You can see the face in some of the pictures pretty well, it's kind of freaky! Looks like an alien still, but we were able to see a lot! :) Everything looks good, we are still set to be due November 14th!

Intelligender???

Alright, so Dustin is in Peru and I was in Walgreens looking for Seabands for nausea. Today was my first day off of Zofran and I wasn't very sick, just a bit nauseated, so I decided to not refill my prescription and try something more natural. So far, so good! But the wicked part of the story is this...

I saw a test near the medication that said, "Pink or Blue"? I grabbed it and looked, it turns out they have a pee test (probably not at all accurate but we'll see) to see if you're having a boy or girl and it can be taken after you are 10 weeks pregnant. Well I hit that mark a few days ago so I thought, what the heck :) (Dustin is going to kill me) 

I followed the instructions and waited 10 long minutes, then came back and got my result...

In case you can't see it very well, it says "BOY!" :) (it's a mirror image so says it backward) We'll see if it's right! (Honestly, I do believe I am having a boy, always have thought that, so we shall see if Intelligender and mommy's intuition are right!)

Gender determination methods also tried...

- Ring over belly (boy)

-Old wives tales (mixed, mostly girl)

-Chinese gender chart (boy)

-Statistics (70% girl, 30% boy)

Our first ultrasound :)

So first off, I have to apologize about the pic quality, we don't have a working scanner so this is a cell phone picture of a picture :) But this is our little jelly bean at 8 weeks, 6 days! We were measuring just one day behind the due date, which is perfectly fine :) My parents came with us to Fetal Fotos and we went in to the ultrasound room! I was really nervous but excited! She put that goop on and it seemed the minute she put the little ultrasound wand thingy on my tummy, there was a baby on there! She was a pro and found it right away, lol!! :) It was then that we saw our little bean wiggle and move its little butt around, and we saw the heart beating. She zoomed in on it and turned the sound on, and we heard its heart beat at 172 bpm! Dustin and I were both amazed to hear it, it was such an amazing thing!! We absolutely loved it!

Our next ultrasound is in a couple weeks after Dustin gets back from Peru! We can't wait!
