First Trimester is Finished!!!!

YEA!!!!!! This post marks the end of our first trimester! It has been a roller coaster of emotional, hormonal, sleep filled and toliet filling days.... but will all that said, we are getting so excited to see our little Nugget. At 12 weeks, Nugget is the size of a lime!

Dustin's new hospital opened last Wednesday. On Friday I went to the hospital after work to visit and meet his staff and co-workers. It was so nice to put names to faces of all the sweet people he talks about. Everyone was so encouraging and expressed how amazing Dustin is to work with and what a great job he has done! It made me very proud. While we were there, we met the L&D director, Elise, who offered to give us an ultrasound this week. I started crying when she said we might be able to see the sex of the baby! What an early Christmas present! Today I got an email from Stephanie at the hospital, confirming our appointment for Friday at 4:00! We are soooo excited. Even if we don't find out if Nugget is a boy or a girl (it is still really early) it will be so neat to see how much he/she has changed since our last ultrasound 7 weeks ago~

Nugget now...

• has fingerprints
• is developing vocal cords
• is the size of a peach (Wow!)
• is almost three inches long
• weighs almost an ounce
• is looking more and more human everyday~

Blessing beyond measure! We have been entrusted with a precious life which we are already so grateful for~
