I have officially hit the 4 month mark. According to Baby Center here is what is going on with the baby. Right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.
I can now start to feel the baby move sporadically which is very exciting. I can't wait until people can feel it from the outside, but that won't be for another month.
Everything else seems to be going normally. I get hungry more often, but still haven't had any cravings for certain foods. I look forward to the next Dr. appointment to see how the baby is progressing, so until next time.....

Hey Everyone. I thought this would be the easiest way to keep everyone up to date with how I was feeling and doing and anything exciting going on.
As of today, I am 14 weeks and 4 days along (technically the second trimester, so they tell me). We found out we were pregnant on 8/28/08 after only 2 months of trying (to our surprise). After a couple of doctor appointments confirming what we already knew, the fun began.
The first trimester went pretty smoothly. I am one of the lucky ones that only had the occasional queasiness at night, but other than that, nothing out of the ordinary. We have decided to turn the current office into the babies room, so now starts the task of finding a new home for all the crap that has accumulated in there. But as Kendall says, we have plenty of time.
At my last Dr.'s appointment, 11/4/08, they said everything was going well. We listened to the babies heartbeat (rate of 147 for those who believe in the wives tale :)), which is still exciting to hear. I have finally gained 1 pound, which considering the alternative, I consider myself very lucky. The next appointment will be for the ultrasound and hopefully we can find out the sex of the baby. That will be the turning point so I can actually register and start getting gender appropriate items.
