Our Little Duck

We had our second visit to the OB this week and got to see our beautiful baby again.  This time, he or she looked like a little duck with arms and legs sticking out! We are now 10 weeks (on 5/20/10) and the baby is the size of a shrimp.  It's officially a fetus!  This little duck has lips, toes, fingernails, and all its major organs.  What a miracle I am experiencing!


I have been feeling very good the last few weeks.  My biggest complaints have been the tried feeling and my tailbone's soreness.  Tim's biggest complaint is my burping (even though I don't even open my mouth)!  But I realize how blessed I am to not deal with morning sickness :)


Here is a sonogram picture of Our Little Duck at 9 weeks 4 days:

This week, I told Father John (the Priest that married us) that we are expecting a baby and he was overjoyed.  He blessed me and the baby and assured me that the pregnancy would go well.


I feel like my baby bump is beginnning to show (to me atleast).  I can tell a lot after I eat and when I try to suck in my stomach and it doesn't move.


Pictures of me at 9 weeks (2 pounds gained and the bump is starting to grow):

And with regular clothes on, it's not so obvious (except for the boobs ):

As far as cravings, pickles tend to show up during meal and snack time more often; although nothing disgusting like mixing with ice cream.  All in all,I am enjoying this wonderful gift that God has given us.
