Okay, so the pun title may be a bit much but my little Bean is about the size of a plum at this point. 2.5 inches long and weighs about half a pound...that's like 1000 times the size they started at. Pretty cool huh? I think so.
As of tomorrow I will be 12 weeks! (already?!) almost time for second trimester which I am really hoping lives up to the hype, this nausea and lack of appetite is for the birds... At the Dr.'s appointment today I found out that I have lost 10 pounds since about 2 weeks before we found out I am pregnant. (not a major concern since I am obese and they only want me to gain 10-15lbs for the pregnancy but still)
Speaking of the Dr.'s appointment, we got to hear the heartbeat again today, and will again at our next appointment, Dec.3rd! Still the most amazing little hummingbird like noise ever!
My wonderful MIL is convinced that it is a girl because the heartbeat is 170per minute and somebody told her that a fast heart rate means a girl.(two different medical professionals have made it clear to me that this is a wives tale...) She has already started calling Bean her baby girl, and K.C., which is the nickname she has chosen for Bean if it's a girl; (her name will be Kathleen Carmella Montgomery, James and I are going to call her Kat, if it's a girl) if it's a boy, which it still could be, heartbeats per minute or not, his name will be Samuel Hugh Montgomery. Either way this kid is in for a world of love!
Ciao for now~

Obviously I meant half an ounce not half a pound.
