Hello!
Some friends suggested that I create a blog to document the adventures of having a baby growing in my tummy. This seems like a good topic for now, so I'm going to run with it. Especially since about 60% of my thoughts are revolving around this tiny human person right now. I have learned this person is about the size of a lime right now, with working joints and fingernails and hair follicles. There is about a one-to-one ratio of head to body size, because the little brain grows a lot quicker than the rest of the organs. And the skin is super translucent with blood vessels forming and a heart pumping blood. The fetus is 12 weeks old today, so we're officially in the second trimester. 

We have one picture of the baby. This was at about 8.5 weeks, it's probably a bit cuter by now. This is interesting. When its really early in the pregnancy, they can't do the classic sonogram that everyone thinks of when you think of a sonogram. Instead they do a transvaginal sonogram, which means that they use this weird dildo thing that they pour blue lubrication goop stuff on and pop up there. Isn't that funny? I definetly thought it was, but then I was so distracted by seeing the little flickery heartbeat and the little moving arms that I completely forgot about the blue dildo. Very cool. 

That's it for the baby update. This still leaves about 40% of other stuff I think about.  And this condition will only last for about 6 more months. So, in addition to frequent fetus updates, expect posts on a variety of ideas and topics. Thanks for checking my blog.
