Baby King update!


Well, everything is going great! I went to my first ultrasound appt on Aug. 28 and I got to see the little tiny flicker of a heartbeat! How amazing was that?! It was the coolest thing ever. Hopefully at the next appt I get to HEAR it! Troy will be with me, so it should be a really emotional moment (for me anyway!) He's so not emotional..typical guy. Anyway, the doctor told me everything is looking perfect. My blood pressure was perfect and everything is going well. I'm now in my 7th week..8th week Monday. I have a picture of a picture of my ultrasound picture. I haven't scanned it in yet, so I'm being lazy, but I'm pregnant (it's my new found excuse for EVERYTHING!) So, enjoy my picture of a picture! See that little white spec? That's my baby!


And this week, Baby King's limbs are developing!! He or She is the size of a blueberry, but is 10,000 times BIGGER than at conception. The biggest growth of my little miracle this week is the head! New brain cells are being generated at the rate of 100 cells per minute. Little King's mouth and tongue are also forming this week, and he or she has gone through THREE set of kidneys already! Can you believe that?! Looks like Baby King is working hard!
