Pecan Love

Well, it's now officially official! We went to the doctor today for our 12 WEEK appointment and our pecan is doing well! It was a little scary...when the doctor used the Doppler to find a heartbeat she couldn't find one. She tried and tried, but no heartbeat to be heard! Of course, I am one of those paranoid pregnant people, so I'm thinking "Oh great, I should have listened to my mother and not told anyone yet!". So we had to get an ultrasound. And was that baby kicking! The fine gourmet chocolate I had tasted before the appointment really had Pecan moving! It was pretty neat, the last ultrasound showed what looked like arm "buds". Now it looked like Pecan had full arms and legs moving around. (Sorry no picture, to the untrained eye it looks like black and white fuzz.)So, we are very happy with such good news. I measured 12 weeks perfectly, which is good to hear as well. Justin is making me a grilled buffalo chicken salad to celebrate. One of my favorite meals. Even when I was feeling the worst morning sickness, I could still eat buffalo sauce! Speaking of morning sickness, I am a little better than I was last month, but not in the clear yet. I remember the nauseousness went on into the second semester with Chasen, so I have to hold out a little longer.
