12 week Ultrasound

We went in for our 12 week ultrasound this week! Our Due date is September 28th (grandpa Jerry's birthday and will make the babies will be 21 months apart!) Charlotte came along with us which made it extra special. She didnt really know what was going on but she was glued to the screen with the rest of us! The baby was sleeping with his/her arms up with the hands bye the ears... just snoozin away! Until we listened for the heartbeat he/she woke right up and was boucing around like he/she was on a trampoline! The heartbeat was 160 so it is still a little hard to predict the gender just yet.

this is what we saw..





We are excited to be out of the first trimester! that was a doozie.. I dont remember feeling that nauseous with Charlotte but every pregnancy is totally or so I hear from other mamas. I am craving anything and everything strawberry!!Strawberries on cereal, straberries on icecream, strawberries on salads, plain strawberries, strawberry smoothies, etc...

So here we go on a new journey of growing from 3 to 4!

Little Facts about growing Baby #2
The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.
From crown to rump, baby-to-be is over 2 inches long (the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.
