There actually IS a baby in there!!!

How far along? 13 weeks, 4 days
Weight gain/loss: Gained 2.8 pounds since we got our positive. Big YAY(!) for not gaining a lot my first trimester!
Stretch marks? None yet. Thank God! I'm already lathering on the lotion though just in case. ;)
Gender: Won't know until Sept. 3rd.
Best moment this week? Seeing our little one dancing around on the screen & seeing my husband light up over it. :) Makes my heart melt just thinking about it. :)
Movement: None yet but I am waiting on some little flutters soon!
Food cravings: Nothing major. The last couple of days it's been cream cheese rangoons & egg drop soup.
What I am looking forward to? Finding out if we are having a boy or a girl in 5 weeks but for now I'm looking forward to hopefully feeling some movement besides gas in my belly! :)
Milestones: We are officially past the first trimester & have the word from Dr. Barnes that we will most certainly not be miscarrying. Yippee!!!

So yesterday was the day I have been waiting on for the last 5 weeks. That's 35 days, it's 840 hours, it's 50,400 minutes....yeah it's been a really long 5 weeks for me! I might even venture to say the longest 5 weeks *ever*! Seriously I was so paranoid & worried about our baby being ok since I had nearly none of the nightmare pregnancy symptoms that I have heard about. But yesterday confirmed that we have an amazingly perfect little baby growing right underneath my skin & further & further into our hearts every day!! Seeing our little one wiggle around on the screen & waving it's little arms & legs around was the most amazing thing ever! Baby's heart is beating at a beautiful 156 bpm& the ultrasound tech said that baby is measuring right where it should be & that as far as she could see on the ultrasound that baby is "perfect"!! Well not to be bias but....we already knew that our baby would be perfect! hehe :)

Ok so here are the latest baby pictures:
Can you count all of baby's fingers & toes?


Here is baby checking out those fingers & toes:


Special K is drinking here & getting big & strong!


Can you see all of the features in the profile shot? Nose, jaw line, mouth?


I just can't stop looking at these pictures! They are amazing & make me so proud to be becoming a mommy! Now my goal is to just take it easy, relax & enjoy the next 5 weeks until we find out what our Special K will be! Then comes nursery shopping madness! LoL! I can't wait!!
