Video of Baby at 15 Weeks

According to the doctor I'm at 15 weeks now. I've been so curious as to what the baby looks like. I know that the baby is about 4 inches and about the size of a small tomato. Apparently I might also start to feel "fluttering" soon since the baby is supposed to be moving around a lot at this time. Here's a video I found to give you an idea.

Cravings!

So far my diet hasn't changed too much, I still eat healthy and have to have at least 1-2 fresh fruit a day. At first the only craving I would get was for comfort food like Kare Kare. Lately though I have been nuts for Maui Onion Chips!



Is it the lack of carbs and salt in my diet? Or just my longing to go to the islands? Who knows? All I know is that it's always on our grocery list!

Baby's Heartbeat

Yesterday was our second doctor's appointment. We met with the other doctor who could be delivering our baby and he was surprisingly gentle. At our first appointment we got to see the baby's heartbeat and that day we got to hear it!

The doctor had a handy device that was like a microphone on my stomach. It filled the room with the lovely should of our baby's heartbeat! The Dr. likened the slightly muffled but rapid sound to a train. With a huge smile on my face I could help but silently agree and wonder where I could get one of my own microphone devices for home....

Baby Bump #1

So I've had a little trouble adjusting to all the changes I've been experiencing lately. So I thought it might might it easier on me to keep track of the changes and keep a sort of online journal of this whole baby process.

The first trimester has been a little rough and I'm glad that it's over! First, because we can now tell people about it and second because I hear it gets better in the second trimester!

New York City

We just got back from our whirlwind NY trip! There was a lot to see and so little time. Among the things we covered were: The Natural History Museum, The Met, Central Park, Payard Bistro, shopping in SoHo where we saw into Dylan McDermott & Jean Reno, lunch at Serendipity, The World Trade Center, and NY Pizza in Brooklyn Heights! Here's a sampling of the photos we took...
