First trimester: check!

We've made it through the first trimester with smooth sailing.  I'm grateful for how well it's been going so far.  Any fatigue I had last week has faded, and the slight twinge of nausea is a thing of the past.  I've had to give up a few pairs of tight-waisted pants, but most still fit.  Starting to stock up on cute maternity clothes in anticipation for the next few weeks when I'll probably make the leap.

We went in yesterday for the first trimester ultrascreen, and while we don't have any official reports back yet, they did tell us the ultrasound looked great.  Nugget is growing right on target and apparently genetic abnormalities are less likely because the nasal bone is well-defined.  Does that surprise anyone who has seen the two of us?!  haha- irrelevant I know.  It was so exciting to get to see a sneak peek of Nugget!

The first picture we got to bring home was October 1st when Nugget was at 6 weeks, 4 days, and looked like this.  It was so amazing seeing the little flicker of the heart.

We thought we'd never see such a cute ultrasound, then yesterday's snapshot came along!  Right as soon as the ultrasound started, Nugget wiggled around, flipped around to face us, and reached up and wiggled all 5 teeny little fingers as if to say "Hi Mom and Dad."  We melted.

   Then Nugget danced around some more, settled in, and laid perfectly still while all the measurements were taken.  So cooperative! Here's a profile shot:

We tried to see if they would take a guess if it is a boy or a girl but they have a policy that they don't share any speculations at this point.  Guess we'll have to keep waiting!
