Dr. Appt. - 12 weeks

Today we went to the doctor and we got to hear our baby's heartbeat for the first time....158 beats per minute. The doctor said that was good and strong. All looks good on my end as well....I have gained 7 pounds this trimester. I guess that is not too bad. It feels more like 27 pounds...
I go back in 4 weeks and then at the next 4 week visit I will be 20 weeks and they will do an ultrasound. We are looking very forward to knowing the sex of the baby...
You people that don't find out amaze me...

First Photo

Here is the first photo of Baby West.....This was taken 05/30/08, so we have grow a week and a half since this (those leg & arm "buds" may be real legs & arms now).....I am just now almost feeling human.

I have not gotten sick since Wednesday night at 6:20pm...I am not bragging yet....I don't want to get too excited yet. I have made it all day today with no drugs...I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

They found no cyst and Baby West is right on target with the due date of Dec. 30th.
