I've decided to start this page as a place where I'll keep track of all numbers, dates, ultrasounds, and other things pregnancy related. I'm sure I'll mention them as we go, but this also provides a place for me to post photos of the belly and ultrasound pictures without being insensitive to any who might be reading.

Test Pictures
 |
| The test that told me I'm pregnant with #2! It's faint, but it's there. Taken on 13dpo. |
|
 |
| It took a little convincing, and lots of reassurance. I love seeing that line get darker. The last test was taken on about 4w4d. |
 |
| Still shocked and scared like crazy, but it's mingling with more and more happiness! |
Ultrasound Photos
 |
| 12-week NT scan. Baby measuring 12w0d (exactly on track) with a heartbeat of 153bpm. NT fold measuring 0.85. |
Belly Photos
 |
| 3w6d - the day I found out. Might have been sucking it in a little. I'm a little self-conscious about starting 20lb's heavier than with DS. Also, never noticed how big my arms are from the side! Dang. |
 |
| 6w4d - I feel like I'm huge and I shouldn't be. It's too consistent to be bloat, and I haven't gained any weight yet, so who knows? Also, with Elijah I noticed around 10 weeks that it was easier to just relax my gut rather than sucking it in, but this week I've been noticing it, so a few weeks sooner than with my first pregnancy. Is that about right? |
 |
10w0d, and can we say, "popped much?!" I can't believe how big I feel.
 |
| Ignoring the icky mirror, this is 12w0d. Not too much difference from 10w, I think the change is coming more gradually since I "popped" |
