Ultrasound Pics

We had our 1st OB doctor's appointment on Valentines Day (I planned it that way on purpose)! Nathan usually gets home about 6:00 PM but he had to get off early so that he could make it back for our appointment! Which means that we were done before 5 and he had no excuse not to take me out for supper :) Actually, I am more of get a pizza and a watch a red box movie kind of girl but for some reason, I was craving me some Chinese cuisine! So we went out for Chinese (YUM) and then got a movie to watch at home! It was a perfect evening! I am thankful to have such a loving husband! Nathan has been so great as I have been processing all the changes going on in my body in the last few weeks!

Baby Fries: 6 WEEKS


Baby Fries: 8 WEEKS


Baby Fries: 10 WEEKS




It was so amazing to see our little one moving around and to hear the fast little heartbeat! THE best Valentines gift EVER! Nathan and I are so excited to be parents and praying that God would really challenge us to grow closer to Him as we prepare in the coming months for the arrival of our first born!

Baby Fries

That's right, during week 8 Baby Fries was the size of a raspberry!!! Baby Fries was probably jumping around like crazy and trying to get my attention by waving his/her little arms and legs. It will be awhile before I will be able to feel Baby's movements but I am so excited for that day!!!!



Last week, Baby Fries grew to be more the size of an olive!!! Baby's fingerprints are already formed and his/her little fingers can grasp an object placed in the palm of his/her hand....mostly other fingers and toes!



It is officially week 10! The most critical part of Baby Fries' development is complete. Baby's body length will almost double during the next 3 weeks! WOW! While a bit strange to envision, Baby's head is now about half its length - Soon the rest of the body's growth will catch up but for now this allows for rapid brain development! Baby's eyelids will fuse shut and irises will begin to develop - his/her eye color is also determined by this point.

Nathan and I have our first OB doctor's appointment on Monday and will probably get another ultrasound :) My next blog will include all the ultrasound pictures we have gotten so far!

We are still house hunting but waiting on the Lord to reveal to us the right time and the right house. We trust in His timing!

We had an awesome weekend skiing with our youth group in Laramie, WY at Snowy Range (I didn't get to ski but still had a great weekend). We enjoyed temperatures in the 50's today compared to -2 earlier this week!! What a blessing!
