Ringing in the next Trimester!

Well, we have entered the second trimester. Sorry we skipped Week 13 because, well, there wasn't really much that was different from Week 12.

Melissa is starting to feel better every day. The nausea is pretty much gone, which means she may even do a few dishes here and there.

You can see a picture from our first ultrasound below. It was an incredible experience. We weren't really expecting much as far as what we would be able to see, so when the ultrasound technician brought up the first image and we saw our little baby, we both started to cry instantly. The passenger was moving its little arms and legs and bring its hand up to its face. The baby was even moving around in response to Melissa coughing and to the ultrasound tech pressing on Melissa's belly. Melissa keeps saying how cute our baby is, but I maintain that it looks like a little alien...a cute little alien, mind you, but an alien nonetheless.

At our last appointment our due date was changed. "Changed to when," you ask? Well, that's a good question. You see, Melissa thinks that the due date was changed from August 15 to August 16 based on readings from the ultrasound. However, what really happened was that the ultrasound showed a due date of August 16, but there was some other chart that showed a due date of August 13. I think that's the date they officially changed it to. So, to sum up, our official due date is...drumroll, please...either August 13 or August 16...but, really, it's the 13th. But then we were told that due dates for first don't really matter because the passenger will come when s/he wants.

The passenger is now 3.5 inches from crown to rump (about the length of a lemon) and weighs about 1.5 ounces.

Welp, see you later.
