Baby Hughes

Yesterday was my first offical Dr. visit. They did the first ultrasound and showed me my first pictures of our baby.

They measured the head of the baby and determined that I am right on track with giving birth on May 1st. Actually they estimate my due date of April 28th but we want to keep the May 1st date, since April 28th is our wedding anniversary.


Here is the image of the head of the baby.



And here is a picture of the baby's leg from the hip bone to the toe.
Now it really makes it seem real to me. As if the morning sickness and the growing belly weren't any indication!!!

12 week update

Well our first offical Doctor visit is this coming Wednesday. I'm going to have to brave it on my own since Chris can't make it. I'm 12 weeks and almost into my second trimester and barely eat anything. The morning sickness doesn't really help this at all. I'm going to have to see what the Doctor says. I've tried all the little tricks of crackers by the bed, don't get up too quickly and drink lot's of fluids but it's not getting any better. Plus it last's more then morning. Everyone tells me being pregnant is great. Well I haven't experienced the greatness yet. Maybe it comes in the second trimester. All I know is that I am thrilled we are having a child, but I wish the 9 months was up already!!!!
