Our little baby!

Look how cute! I just had my 12 week ultrasound yesterday and the baby is starting to look like a real baby! Matt came this time and it was so nice to have him there. We were both really excited!

The lady doing the ultrasound shook the heck out of my uterus with her wand thing to try to make the baby move, and it worked! The baby was moving her little arms up and down- I almost died of cuteness! I guess I just never thought about the fact that they would be able to move around when they're this small.. so that's the little arm and hand (and fingers!) waving to us!

Our little peanut!
This is what she looked like at my ultrasound around 7 1/2 weeks. Aunt Jilli nick named her baby dolphin! I can't believe how much development has happened in just over a month..

So I call her a "her" even though we don't know if she's a she yet, but I don't like calling her an "it". So until we find out (in like 7 weeks!) she will remain a "she" is my mind.

So I am starting to feel a little better these days- not good, but better. I can eat a bigger variety of food now which is sooo nice. It has been such a blessing that I've been on winter break until today! All I did was lay on the couch and sleep and whine a lot about how sick I felt, and it all got really boring but it was so good that I didn't have to be in school or working becuase I would have died. And I just have to say that Matt has been, above and beyond, the sweetest husband in the world! I don't want to say I'm surprised at how great he's been , but it has just really amazed me that for 6 solid weeks he has had so much patience and been so self sacrificing for me. He practically jumps up to get me anything and everything I want and need with a smile on his face, usually telling me how cute I am or something, even when I'm hideous. He treats me like his little princess and he never acts frustrated or tired of it. If he is tired of it, he doesn't show it and I just love him. The end. For now..
