The Rabbit Done Died!

Just to bring everyone up to speed:
We found out we were pregnant on Father's Day when I was only about 4 weeks along. It would seem that I took the test about a minute after my body started producing hCG, which is the hormone a woman's body produces only when pregnant, and the hormone that all pregnancy tests test for. As you can see from the picture only one of those pregnancy tests are actually reporting pregnancy (first response). I went a little nuts when the first one came out positive and bought another pack of pregnancy tests (ept). Both of those test showed a faint second line before it disappeared completely. Which made me question the accuracy of the first one. Moral of the story ladies, don't buy ept! I went to the doctors 2 days later and it was confirmed, Eli and I were going to have a baby! Yikes!

I'm now 12 weeks pregnant and a lot has happened during the 8 weeks in between!

Here I am at 4 weeks, the baby is the size of a poppyseed:


 6 weeks, baby is the size of a pea (not much change)!
 7 weeks, a blueberry!
 8 weeks, raspberry!
 9 weeks, an olive! Is that a belly I see? Nope, just gas!
 10 weeks, a prune! Ah, the joys of a thickening waste line.
I'm a little scared at this point to take a 12 week shot. The baby is now the size of a plum. I've definitely gotten my appetite back thanks to a change in prenatal vitamins and the culmination of the first trimester (one week left)! Instead, here's a shot of what I've been working on for the past 12 weeks:

  2. That's cute! Eli nicknamed our baby "tail" after I told him that the baby had a tail around week 5 :).
