11 Weeks and an ultrasound!

This has been such a great pregnancy week. Last Monday, Greg and I went to my first doctor's appointment, as mentioned in my last post. This past Friday, we had the first Ultrasound!! It was so exciting to see Crash. Plus, not only did we get to see him/her, the little wiggle worm was moving all over the place!! Legs were kicking, arms were flexing, it even appeared as though he or she had hiccups at one point! I loved every second of it! It was amazing to see the baby moving all around inside me, but being unable to feel any of it. The ultrasound tech was amazing. She was so quick and friendly, it made for a great experience. She told us that the baby was measuring around 10 weeks 4 days, which was only 3 days ahead of what we had calculated and that the heart rate was 170 beats per minute, which she said was perfect for the age! After the appointment, my mom and I went to the outlets at the beach to buy some maternity clothes. Turns out barely anyone sells them in stores anymore. I was not impressed with the Motherhood Maternity store's selection. We ended up going to Old Navy where I just purchased a few tunics and over-sized tops to wear for maternity tops with leggings. I also stuffed my face at Panera.
I always order their broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl but this time I also ordered a Fuji apple chicken salad, and let me tell you something: I'm in love!!!! That salad was so incredibly delicious! I think I have a new usual when I eat there.
The women that I work with have noticed my little baby belly and they think its absolutely adorable, haha. luckily, it's still small enough to fit into my scrub tops!
Anyway, here is a picture of our little party animal! I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week/weekend!
