16 Week Update

Welcome! Since we're far away from most family and friends (and not everyone is on Facebook), we decided to keep everyone posted on the baby progress in a blog. The goal is to update weekly with pics and progress.

Just about 16 weeks along now and I officially have a bump going:

And today after lunch I felt my first movements! That was really exciting. It's reassuring to know that the baby is still in there;)

I have been feeling better lately, only occasional nausea. I'm glad that phase seems to be over, it was getting pretty old. My next doctor's appointment is on Thursday, but the big ultrasound when we'll find out the gender won't be for another couple weeks. But if you haven't seen it, here is the most recent pic of the baby at 8 weeks:

Here the bean is about .6 inches long, but according to my baby book the bean is now 4-4.5 inches. Lots of growing going on!

Keep checking back for updates and Happy Early Halloween!
