The Name Game


The battle of the names has began! I kind of thought that Scott and I would decide on names rather quickly, but what a battle! And it's funny because we always think about boy names...lol. If we have a girl maybe then it won't be such a fight...NOT!
When we went to the doctor two weeks ago I had another ultrasound. (13 weeks) I can't believe how quickly a fetus develops! My little peanut looks like a person now!
I'm almost done with my 15th week now...that means the baby is about 4 1/2 inches from crown to bum and weighs 3.5 ounces. The other day I googled images of a 15 week fetus and it's so hard to believe that this tiny being is living and growing inside of ME! Other first time moms must get these incredible feelings too...it's just so hard to explain! This baby is a miracle!
Love you all!

Starting my second trimester

Well, I made it through 1/3 of my pregnancy! Yay!! These last couple days I have been feeling better than ever. We have another routine doctor appointment on Tuesday...nothing too exciting. My best friend, Jena, found out this week that she is having a boy. Congrats to you Jena! Jena is about 6 weeks ahead of me in her pregnancy. It has been fun to be pregnant at the same time as my best friend, but I am so jealous because she never seems sick or tired! Lucky her!

From babycenter.com:
13 weeks
Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you're having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce. As you start your second trimester, most of your baby's critical development will be completed and your odds of miscarriage drop considerably.

Love you guys!
Amanda and Scott
