Just taking a nap

Here's a couple more pictures of our baby from today. It's taking a nap!!! I went in for my 12 week check up today. We couldn't hear the heart beat with the little machine (which can happen when you're only 12 weeks along) so she busted out the ultrasound and we saw this! The nurse saw the little heartbeat and I said, "It looks like they're taking a nap!" She agreed because the baby wasn't moving around much. But everything looked great she said.
On the pic on the right (in real life at least) you can see the arm and the fingers!! The top circle is the head and the bottom circle is the tummy. And it's just resting up against the wall there sleeping.
I have officially gained NOTHING. I weigh exactly what I weighed when I found out I was pregnant. I guess I'll be happy for it when I don't have as much to lose after the baby is born :)
Today was also a good day as far as being sick goes. I even ate a doughnut, yes I know that's not healthy, but man I feel somewhat normal and that is so exciting!

In other, not so exciting news, my co-worker Pam and I got tickets to see Kelly Clarkson in August. That'll be fun ;)
Oh yes and how could I forget, tomorrow is Thomas' birthday. He's gonna be 24, woo hoo! I got him the choclatiest cake I could find, so I think he'll be very happy.
I am also enjoying reading Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt, good book if you're looking for one. It looks like it would be sad, but the way it's told is really great and makes the book really intriguing. It's also pretty funny at times.

So that's it, just really wanted to share the baby pictures ;)

Back from being MIA

I hate being faked out. I totally thought I was on the road to recovery, travelling AWAY from the morning sickness until this weekend when it came back with a vengence! I have gained all of 2 pounds in this pregnancy and judging by the size of my belly I think I know where it's all going! :)
Anyway I am SO excited to finally be showing a little (very little.) I can't fit in my old clothes anymore, thank God for the invention of the belly band. I leave all my pants unbuttoned and just throw the band on over and it keeps my pants up, but loose, which is what I'm all about these days. I'm loving my sweat pants!!
Now for a bit of exciting news. I know I'm only a little more than 12 weeks and they say you usually feel the first movement around 18-20 weeks if it's your first, but I swear I felt a little somersault in there. It totally shocked me but I felt a big flutter way down low in my "tummy". (It was NOT gas I know that for sure.) I haven't felt it since, but I can't wait until I feel it all the time! I have been chatting online with other women who are due the same time I am and they're beginning to feel it too. Most of them have had other babies, but they agree that's probably what I felt.

On the non-pregnant front, we finally have some closure on the bank robbery. He took a plea bargain for 13 years. Now he is headed down the the bay area to stand trial for his other robberies, so he'll be looking at more time. We never have to go and testify! I am so happy. I would have liked to go in and make his life miserable, but now it's over and I never have to think about it again and I am thrilled!
OK back to the baby! Here's a pic of a baby right now in a 3D ultrasound. (This is not OUR baby, but A baby at 13 weeks.) The baby's tooth buds and fingerprints have already all formed! And it's about 3 inches long!
We also think we have decided on names. If it is a girl she will be Caelen Abigail Kline. If it is a boy he will be Thomas Morgan Kline but he will go by Morgan. :) Yay so exciting!!

Big Belly, Red Nose, No it's not Santa Claus...

So here's the beginnings of my pregnant belly, bear in mind it's the end of the day (so it's always slightly bigger then). I can only suck it in a little now though, and with the (tiny) amount that I've been eating and the (large) amount that I've been vomitting, I know it's not just me getting fat!
So this is 9 wks and 4 days. I'll be 10 weeks along on Sat. 1/4 of the way done already! Amazing. ;)
And the red nose is because the sun finally came out and all I want to do is sit in it!!

We went out on Sun and got Woodrow a kiddie pool to swim in. He LOVES to swim and takes a dip in it about 10 times a day. Of course it didn't fit in the car we brought so I had to leave Thomas in the Wal-Mart parking lot while I went and got the truck, all for a stupid pool for the dog! But it's fun to sit out in the sun now that it's warm, and that's what we did pretty much all weekend, while Woodrow swam.

I'm gonna go have some pickles and almonds and peanuts for dinner now. No, they're not cravings, it's just about all I can get down and keep down. ;)
