Trick or Treating with Emma

A friend of mine works at an Ochsner clinic. They were hosting a Halloween party for kids. The doctors and nurses dressed in costumes and handed out candy. Emma made some new friends and took home a bag full of candy. I don't know who had more fune, me or Emma.

Doctor Visit

I went to the doctor today for my 12 week visit. The doctor surprised me and did another ultrasound. It was amazing, because you could see the baby's face, hands, and legs. The baby was moving like crazy. The doctor said it was a very dramatic baby, so its definitely my kid. :) I also heard the heartbeat. The baby is now a whopping 5.33cm or about 2 inches long. The doctor said everything looks great. Here is the newest ultrasound. If you look close, you can actually see the face.

House Progression

This is the spare bathroom. Jude built this vanity by himself. Who knew my husband was a furniture maker. He really did a great job.
This is the master bathroom. The large hole is where the tub will be soon.

This is the dining room. The door you see is the front door.

This is the den to the right of the dining roon when you walk through the front door.

This is our brand new countertops. They look great. Jude picked them out.

Our to do list is definitely getting shorter. Jude predicts we will be moving in a couple of weeks. We still have to finish the front and back porches, faucets, set the tub, and paint touch ups. Everyone is pitching in to help get us moved in as soon as possible. Mike came out this weekend for a little manual labor.

12 weeks

I can't believe its 12 weeks already. I have been feeling great!!! Although I do get frustrated when trying to find something to wear. I am in that in between stage, where your clothes don't fit and you are not ready for maternity gear. I am sure my time will come.

This is where we began almost a year ago: Front

Jude has been working very hard this past year. We have come leaps and bounds. Unfortunately Jude has been basically a one man show, so progress was slow. Thankfully, my Dad and Mr. Jude have helped along the way. We are now a couple of weeks away from finishing. We are awaiting countertops, front steps, porch banisters, and few other things. I am so excited to be almost finished. I am ready to get my husband back. So here are some of the recent pictures.

Progression Picture

So here I am at 10 weeks. There has definitely been some changes. My clothes are not quite fitting as well and I had to move up a size in pants already. As you can see by the downward angle of the photo, Jude took it. Next time I am going to a professional, my Mom. Perhaps she can get a more flattering angle. :)

Ultrasound

Today Jude and I went to the doctor and recieved our first baby picture. Our little one is just 2cm longs with a visible heartbeat. It was reassuring to see an actual baby. I have been very lucky thus far and have not had any usual pregnancy symptoms. So seeing the baby was great confirmation.
