12 Weeks! One trimester down, two more to go!

Tomorrow marks 12 weeks, and the completion of the first trimester! That went fast. We can hardly believe it, but Baby West is now the size of a plum or a small apricot. Since plums are not in season, apricot it is.              
The baby is now, "Joey Bite Size' according to Joey. Not sure if this is funny or disturbing, ha!
Susie, still not really showing and Ellie wanting to be the center of attention. 
In other fun news, we had another ultrasound on Friday, and the baby is almost fully formed and we could see it moving and kicking around! Little legs and arms were visible, and all it's measurements were normal and healthy. We also heard the heartbeat for the first time which was incredible.

We will be heading to Malibu this weekend for Discipleship Camp with 15 kids from Auburn Young Life and would appreciate prayers that Susie's morning sickness...or all day sickness...would be minor or finished as we head on this trip!

Hugs, S & J

9 Weeks & Counting!

Baby West is 9 weeks today!

We had a doctor's appointment and ultrasound again last week and we saw the heartbeat, and the baby was MUCH bigger than just two weeks previous. It's amazing how quickly the baby is growing!

We've decided we will begin documenting the size of Baby West by taking photos of what he/she is the size of until I start getting massively huge. For example, this week, the baby is the size of a grape (come a long way from the size of a grain of rice just three weeks ago)! See the photo to the left; definitely no bump yet!

Next week we go public with the news, so shhhh for just one more week! :)
