Our little one is a fiesty one!

Jason and I went to the doctor's this afternoon for our next baby ultrasound... here are the most recent photos of our 'crazy kicking baby'! we were lucky enough to have the last appointment of the day and so we got an extra long ultrasound and we got 4 photos instead of the standard 1!
Lucky lucky!
We got all good news. I have put on 6lbs, which is supposed to be good news. The baby has a really strong heart beat, 5 fingers and toes on each hand and foot, 4 heart chambers and is moving around ALOT which is great news.

The baby was kicking and punching and flipping over the WHOLE time we were watching it and was actually a bit of a pain to get good photos of!

We were hoping to find out the sex of the baby today but the baby had other ideas. It kept it's legs crossed the WHOLE time and despite all it's moving around didn't uncross once to give us a look at if it is a boy or girl. We have another scan at the beginning of June and we'll find out then.
This is the baby... finally still enough to have it's picture taken!
You can see it's breathing 'bits' developing.

In this one you can see it's ribs and hand.

In this one you can see his long leg and 4 fingers and thumb on it's hand!

This is a top view of it's head... it has a nice big brain!
It's going to be clever... we hope!

I'm getting bigger... 15 weeks already & growing!

15 weeks already... can't believe it!
I am growing like there is no tomorrow! I am struggling to fit in to most of my clothes and have been using a hair band wrapped around my buttons on my jeans to keep them up. Its a magic trick that works!

However, I have been able to buy some big shorts and am off shopping in a minute for some bigger undies and t-shirts... thanks Mum!
