Monday Jason and I went to my 12 week Dr.'s appointment.  Our baby now REALLY looks like a baby, not a dot, shrimp or gummy bear.  He had long chicken legs and looked so relaxed.  He/She had one arm propped on his head and the other with his thumb in his mouth.   A couple of time it looked like our little one had the hiccups.  It was so exciting to be able to make out a face profile with a little nose.  Our baby was 2 and 1/2 inches about the size of a lime now!  It was absolutely amazing to see how much our little one had grown since we had last seen him/her 3 weeks ago.  Now I will not go back for another 4 weeks (to do the regular check-up stuff and listen to the heartbeat).  Luckily since Heather gave me her baby beat, I can hear our little ones heartbeat whenever I want to...it is very comforting!  The heartbeat is about 175bmp.  Everything looked great!  We are so thankful!  We can't wait to find out if our little lime is a "he" or  "she", a little over 7 weeks to go and then I can start to decorate our nursery and call him/her by name. :)
So far there is a very very small baby bump, not enough for anyone else to really notice.  I can still wear most of my pants and for the ones that are a little tight I bought a bella band at target so I can just zip my pants and not be uncomfortable with my buttons poking into my belly.  Actually, I'm excited to be showing soon!
