Shiz just got real

The past 13 weeks (and 3 days) have been interesting to say the least.  I have obviously known I was pregnant for a couple months but with everything else going on in our lives it sometimes slipped into the back of my mind.  Of course then the all day sickness would pop up and I'd be reminded that I was in fact growing a little human in my belly.

My point is...even when I was pregnant with P I knew that I was pregnant but I don't think it really seemed 100% real to me until I saw that little baby bouncing around in my belly.

I saw this baby at a little over 8 weeks but still...that didn't seem real because baby looked like a peanut.  Literally.  A little blob.

Yesterday we went for our nt scan at 13 weeks 2 days and shiz got real.  Baby is a baby...not a blob or a gummy bear or a peanut or a jelly bean.  A baby.

With a head...complete with a nose and lips and eyes.  A body with wiggling arms and legs and fingers and toes.  It rubbed it's head, it had it's hand by it's mouth.  It rolled around.  It did BABY things.  I was in complete awe.  I think that first ultrasound where baby looks like a baby is probably the most exciting thing in the first trimester.  Hearing the heartbeat is amazing as well but actually seeing that little baby...oh man.  What morning sickness?  Exhaustion huh?  When you see this, it's all worth it and I'm ready to do this crap again (well ya know...after this one comes out...don't you remember my good, bad, and ugly post...I told you.  Us women are bat shit cray cray).
