Photos soon... I promise!

Yes, I will at some point upload a picture of my belly-baby (disclaimer here - we don't currently know the gender of the baby, but in the effort to not refer to him as "it" we will henceforth refer to the baby as "he," unless/until we find out otherwise/officially)...

We have a picture from 6 weeks, where he looks like a little peanut and a few from 9 weeks in which he actually has body parts. Watching the 9 weeks ultrasound was AMAZING! Not only was his little heartbeat clearly visible, but he waved his little hands, kicked his little feet, and nodded his head! It was incredible... the best possible thing since he's still far too small for me to feel him (even growing 1mm per day - no wonder I'm tired - he was only 25mm last week during the ultrasound... at this point he should be about 2 inches long). SO looking forward to hearing the heartbeat on the "doppler" (I still don't actually know what that is, just the mysterious thing that everyone refers to in reference to hearing the baby's heartbeat). I know seeing it should be better, but I'm a musician and can't wait to hear that little thump thump thump! And even more, I can't wait until I feel him move! It should be sometime around my birthday at the end of April :) What a great birthday present to look forward to!

So... I'll get on the photo upload soon... in the mean time, here's a photo of me and James on the first day I went off birth control. That may weird people out, but I was excited :) And I didn't tell James why we were taking a photo until afterward because otherwise he wouldn't have posed with me :P
