Best moment this week: Seeing baby on the ultrasound. The last ultrasound we only saw the gestational sac but this time I was able to see more (see below). I was also able to hear baby's heartbeat; it was 158 bpm. (Thanks Ana for tagging along with me to this special appointment.)
Sleep: I'm having difficulty falling asleep lately, but when I do I sleep really well and have lots of dreams.
Movement: Baby was moving around when we were listening for a heartbeat but I couldn't feel it.
Food cravings: Beef and BBQ; but sometimes I don't have much of an appetite at all so it's hit or miss.
Gender: Unknown
What I miss: Russ; since he's out on the ship he wasn't able to see and hear baby's heartbeat with me today....but I can't wait to tell him all about it.
What I am looking forward to: Telling Russ about the ultrasound.
Milestones: Getting this far into the pregnancy with no morning sickness.
Baby Size: lime

Weekly Wisdom: Trust your body, you know it better than anyone else.
