First Picture

Look at that beautiful baby. Doesn't look like much right now, but it was still very exciting. We got to see the heartbeat on the screen. It was just a little flicker, but definitely there! I measuring 7w 5d, which is normal, and my due date is May 14th. I love the fact that the due date is right between my sister's and my mom's b-days. Perfect!

The doctor said everything looks good, and I go back in a month for my N/T screen. They check for neural tube issues that could indicate Down Syndrome. I'm excited and happy and feeling pretty calm about everything.

Tomorrow, I'm going to get a Bella Band. I didn't think I would be needing it this early, but I'm getting a serious muffin top from all the constant eating I do. Most of my pants are snug, and it's only going to get worse. So I'm preparing myself. I could also use a few more blousy tops that better conceal my growing gut. I thought I wasn't supposed to show for months! Well, I guess right now I'm just showing excess bloat. At least it's all for a good reason:)
