2nd Trimester

11-12 Felt first distinctive punches or kicks. 17 weeks
11-3 Just felt the baby move for sure! 6:55 pm 

10/28/2010 Got an ultrasound today, after a little bleeding scare. Everything is just fine. Silly baby is laying face down with it's legs tucked under it. 15 weeks

                                                                      

                                                                               17 week bump                

Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.

16 week bump

 Tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. And an ultrasound might be able to determine gender.

15 week bump

Baby's legs now outmeasure the arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. The fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably still can't feel the movements.

10-22 May have felt the baby move today. Weird little fluttery feeling. 

Cravings: Still oranges and pickles

Feeling: No more nausea, more energy. Began cleaning the office out to make way for the nursery. Really busy and stressed with school.

Not baby related: I was nominated for Who's Who among American College Students and Marc found out he was accepted to grad school! (I knew he would!)   

10-26 Had my appt today. Heartbeat of 166 

Made the big appointment to find out the gender November 30th!

Nursery

           Since I am an interior design student and a planner; I have started to look at how I am going to decorate the nursery. I plan to do it somewhat gender neutral (so I can reuse the nursery items for a future 2nd child) also if I have a girl I don't want an overly pink room.
The themes I am deciding between are:

Sumersault-Geo-Brights-Piece-Crib

 Mod Pod Pop Monkey

Sumersault-Geo

First Trimester

    August 16th we found out that we are expecting our first baby. Seeing that second line was quite a wonderful surprise. We immediately went to get prenatal vitamins and tell the parents that they were going to be Grandparents! The reactions were wonderful as I expected.

Baby's Development:

Heartbeat: 169

       The baby is completely formed. The baby’s head becomes a major part of the baby; in fact the baby’s head is about half the length of the body. The fingers and toes are separated completely and the baby’s bones are starting to harden. The baby measures in around 2-1/2” and weighs about a half an ounce. In this stage, the baby will be able to swallow and urinary system is working as well. All of the organs are now fully formed.

October 7th

12 weeks 

How I am feeling; Good, more energy, not getting alot of sleep, weird dreams

Cravings; orange flavor, pickles, oreos

Baby's Development:

During pregnancy week 12, the baby's brain is starting to make hormones, and nerve cells are multiplying at a rapid rate. The baby may be sucking as early as this week.The baby is 2.2 inches long and weighs up to half an ounce

Now I am officially out of the first trimester!
