Practice
Today Chris and I went to visit our close friends John & Sarah. They just had a baby girl, Katie about 2 1.2 weeks ago. It was so fun to play with her and realize that in less than 5 months we will have our own. CRAZY. Chris held a baby for the first time today that he can remember. He always passed the chance up because he was scared of crushing babies with his hands because he's so huge. So I brought my good camera over to take some infant pictures of her for practice. I needed to build my portfolio and what a perfect chance. She's so easy to photograph.

14 1/2 week *bump* Pic
So I took another picture since everyone at work was commenting on my growing belly. So I guess its starting to look more like baby than a spare tire. FINALLY!
Here to the dorky pics!
((edit))Ya know... I just looked back at the last belly pics I posted...they look identical, But I promise, it sure is bigger in person.
Nothing really new going on with baby. The Drs called to say the NT scan was negative so that's good news. We are just PATIENTLY waiting for April 14th to find out if Baby D is a boy or girl.

Another ultrasound
I went to the f/u ultrasound this morning to try to get all the measurements again. It worked! I was in there for about 30 minutes as she tried to get the baby to lay on its back. The baby wanted to stay curled in a ball. She showed me the spine and said its "so pretty' so I take it that's a good thing. She also remeasured and the baby is right on target to where it should be.
Anyways she talked me into waiting one more week for the ultrasound which is fine with me. She knows best, right? So the big day is now April 14th!

New u/s pics!We had another monthly appointment this morning along with the NT scan. Baby is looking good, we saw "it" move all around and scratch the face. The heartbeat was 164 and going strong. The Dr said the baby is measuring small but its probably due to position, they also we unable to get the scan result because of babies position...so I go back Wed for another u/s.
Also, APRIL 6th is our BIG ULTRASOUND, as long as baby cooperates! ((Crossing fingers))

Belly Pic
Here's another... the spare tire is still morphing into a bump. It will be nice when this darn bump arrives so I can stop walking around the store with muffin top.
Sorry for the blurry picture, but Chris can't seem to handle my Xsi and take a clear pic.

Thanks Mom!
Thanks Mom!
