We made it! We are 12 weeks today. I feel like the time has both flown and slowly creeped (crept?) by at the same time. Let the weekly belly photos begin! Monday we have our 12 week ultrasound and I can't wait to see our little baby. Last week he/she was the size of a fig and this week he/she is the size of a lime. Pretty crazy. Since it was the size of a fig last week, I started affectionately calling the baby "the figlet", which brings me to the topic of nicknames.
Our baby already has a wide range of quirky little names that we call him/her. Since we don't know the sex yet, we just come up with random things. We call it Baber, The Pod (my nickname has always been Bean since I was little - so my parents coined the baby "The Bean Pod"), Baby Bear, and Little Foot. I wonder if any of them will stick after we get to meet this little one in person. I'll probably be retiring the figlet since he/she has outgrown the size of a fig.
I think that we'll be announcing our pregnancy (making it FB official and public knowledge) on Monday evening after I have an updated ultrasound photo. There are so many cute ways of announcing pregnancy (thanks a lot, Pinterest) so, I've been back and forth recently on what exactly I want to do. I think I've decided on my favorite idea though. =] That also means I won't have to be anonymous here anymore and I'll be able to share my blog with others as well. Wa-hoo!
