One Word...Undescribable

Today was our 12 week scan @ the Perinatal office. I'm not gonna lie. My nerves got the best of me again. I really tried not to get to worked up. I hate doing that to the baby. I was fine yesterday and slept great last night. Then this morning I woke up and everything had me gagging. I was nausea but usually I am in the mornings. Well by the time I got to work I ran straight to the bathroom. My nausea+nerves=disaster. I threw up for the 2nd time this pregnancy. Usually I can handle the nausea but this time there was no holding back. I actually felt a bit better after that and then I was starving since breakfast was no longer in my belly.

So finally it was time to head out for our appt.. I met Chris at our house and we headed over. His Mom met us there also. First they drew my blood. Only one vial! Of course that was cake for me as I am a pro now. lol

Then it was time for our scan. And what I saw on that screen took my breathe away and had me in tears all at the same time! Even with our very unpersonable tech I couldn't help the tears that kept coming. She was very efficient but very quick and not fun or friendly about the whole thing. My friend Lauren who just had her baby went to the same place for her 12 week scan and the lady spent over a half hour showing her baby. Ours was probably 5 minutes. But what an absolutely wonderful 5 mins it was!!! Lil Pea (who is not so pea like anymore!) was all over the place. Waving, kicking and jumping!! The lady said 3 times what an active baby we have. I couldn't believe how we already got to see arms, legs, fingers, cute little nose and chin!! It was so amazing. And so perfect. We heard the heart, which is now 150. And I think it's a boy for some reason, but we will see. Also I assumed I was 12 weeks 3 days from the measurements at the RE's office but baby measured 12 weeks 6 days which is exactly perfect from the first day of my last period. Which now puts our due date back to April 30th which was going by my period.

I honestly just wanted to sit there and watch lil Pea for hours. It was so cute the way baby kept waving and moving all around. Like I said amazing. Chris tried to video but got yelled at. lol Apparently NO picture's or video. I wish I could have just had a little clip to watch over and over of lil Pea moving all around! Like I said....AMAZING.

I posted all the new pics in our album on our blog so please check them out. Of course I think it's the most beautiful baby I have ever seen, but that's just Mommy talking.
I also wanted to attach a picture of the beautiful sculpture lil Pea's Aunt Liv just gave us. It is made from Willow bark and is very touching. Thanks again sista!
