12 or 13 Week Check-up

I'm still pregnant, still nauseous, still want peaches.  The doctor said everything looks good.  I am the exact same weight I was 4 weeks ago, so that made me happy.  I guess the constant nausea kept me from gaining any weight this trimester.  She thinks I am closer to 13 weeks along instead of 12 which resulted in some very stressful moments while I tried to schedule a last minute appointment for first trimester screening.  I only have until 13 weeks and 6 days to be able to do that so according to her calculation I was almost too late.  But I managed to get an appointment for next week.  Fingers crossed that the baby is healthy.

The little peanut at between 12 and 13 weeks. He/She is about the size of a lime.

During the ultrasound the baby was kicking up a storm and flipping around.  We saw two kicks, and then the baby raised it's fist above his/her head.  I imagined it was screaming "FREEDOM" like in the movie "Braveheart."  The doctor commented that it was a very active baby.  Hum... I think they call that "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." My mom of coursed laughed when I told her how active the baby was because I was, and still am, the exact same way.  Always on the go.
