Yesterday officially marked 12 weeks by my midwife's calculations, and according to that, the baby should be about the size of a plum. However, as I mentioned in my post last night - baby is measuring a full 6 days ahead at just over 6.5 centimeters. Crazy that in 3 weeks it's more than doubled in size!
I took a "bump" picture yesterday which is laughable. Clearly after my jeans freak out, it's obvious that I don't have much of a bump at all yet. I am feeling pretty fat through my mid section (up higher than where the baby is or where my jeans sit), so I'll be super happy when this bloat finally fades away. I probably won't take one of these every week. I'm not motivated enough to keep up with it. But I'm glad I have a picture from pretty much the starting point. It will be fun to see it change over the coming months.
And here is a shot of our little one from yesterday. I'll tell you what - ultrasound imagery has gotten amazingly advanced on high definition screens. Unfortunately they still have really crappy printers. Anyway, for those of you who don't exactly know what you are looking at - it's a profile shot of baby facing up with his/her hand up to the mouth.
And with that I'm off to see my midwives. Thankfully after our scan yesterday, I promise I will not freak out if they can not find the heart beart on the doppler!
Have a great weekend everyone!
