12 Week Dr. appointment
Udderly disappointing. She listened to the heartbeat--that was it. We told her we could have done that at home!!!! She said everything looked fine and that she'd do a "sneak peek" to see if she could determine boy/girl at our 16 week visit. I was so frustrated because I had it set in my mind that we'd get to see him/her again yesterday!!! Boo hoo!!

EEk!
Almost three weeks have gone by with no new news! Really, baby is just growing now--so there isn't anything to report.
The doctor's office called last week with my blood test results. I have to admit, after three weeks of waiting it was a little scary to get a phone call. I immediately thought something was wrong. All they told me is that I don't have any scary diseases, and that my Vitamin D levels were a little low. I'm taking Vitamin D now to help with that. I feel a little like a druggie right before bed every night! I'm now up to 5 different pills--all vitamins--every night.
During week 10--baby was the size of a kumquat. I looked EVERYWHERE for one of those things so that I could post a belly picture with it, but had no luck.
During week 11--baby was the size of a fig. I let mom and dad listen to the heartbeat on Easter weekend--it was neat!
During this week (week 12) baby is the size of a lime which "they" measure at about 2 inches. Peanut is sure growing fast! I keep hoping that I am going to feel movement, but I know it is way early. I have my next doctor's appointment tomorrow and hope that our little bean is as wiggly and active as he/she was for the last visit! Maybe I'll drink something sugary before I go just to encourage little Peanut... Some people on the baby message boards and a friend at work said that the doctor might be able to make an educated guess about the gender this time! I would just love that!! :)

9 weeks!
Sooo...baby is 9 weeks along today! According to all (4!) of my books, we've actually got a grape sized little guy or gal on our hands, even though Peanut looks more like a big gummy bear. :)
According to those Chinese Gender Charts, it looks like we might have a boy! I know better than to think it would be that easy to figure out--just look at a chart, and there it is! I mean, it's a 50/50 shot no matter how you look at it, right? We're not worried about boy or girl--I know it sounds cliche, but we definitely just want a healthy little one. Whatever is in there, it definitely made me pass out this afternoon! I can't say it bothers me being sleepy, since it's my favorite hobby anyway!!
Tony has been working on our back door all day long. He accidentally touched a piece on the lower left corner of the door frame, and it pretty much crumbled off in his hands. He had to use all kinds of tools to get it done, and it ended up looking pretty good! He still isn't completely satisfied, so he's still out playing with it.
