fingernails, heartbeats, & hiccups

We are officially 12 weeks! Yay!! :)

So our little Jelly Bean is growing fingernails and developing a diaphragm - leading to tiny little hiccups! :) Wish I could feel them!!

Today at the doctor's we got to hear the heartbeat!! The baby's heart beats 3 times as fast as mine - and wow is it ever beating strong!! We even got to hear the baby's heart beating alongside mine, how amazing!!

Right now Jelly Bean is about the size of a fig - so small, yet growing so incredibly fast. Soon his/her hands will be opening and closing, and its bones are beginning to harden. And I know he/she is kicking and stretching around in there, can't wait to feel it. :)


Bring on the 2nd trimester!!

  3. Congratulations Lori and Steve! Hearing that little tiny heart beat is amazing-I agree. Just wait till you get to hold that little bundle of joy in your arms for the first time. There is nothing like it! Being a mother is the most wonderful blessing.
