Well, I am ten weeks preggo today! Only two weeks left of the first trimester. That went fast! I thought with all this sitting on the couch, and playing wait and see at the dr's, that time would surely stand still. Thank goodness that did not happen. I had an appointment yesterday that went really well. My dr did an ultrasound in his office, so I got a chance to see my little one again. This time, he looked so much bigger than two weeks ago. Looked like a baby, well, and baby with a very large head :) The baby's heartbeat was 160 BPM which is very good, and he/she was moving his little arms and legs. Very sweet! The dr still saw the blood clot, but he thought it might even be getting smaller. Woohoo!! His ultrasound machine isn't as good as the ones I usually go to, so he didn't try and measure the clot, but he thought it looked better. I think at my appointment in two weeks, he will order another "big" ultrasound to find out for sure. So, until then, still sitting...
Some fun facts about Baby Meers #3: baby is about the size of a cocktail shrimp (about an inch and a half), it is sprouting hair, the inner workings of its ears are complete, so it can now hear the girls goofing off and playing (a sound he will be very familiar with when he arrives,) he's now growing fingernails, and is able to kick and swallow. What a little miracle!!!
My mom came to Houston yesterday to play with the girls while I went to my Dr's appointment. When I got home, my house was sparkling clean!!! What a glorious smell to walk in to! She then informed me that she will be coming every few weeks on her day off to clean my house so that Alan doesn't have to do it on his days off. That is incredibly generous! Alan so didn't mind doing it, in fact, he was a really great sport about it! And, always did such a nice job without a single word of complaint. Really a rock star of a husband, but I am glad that mom offered to help him out a little bit. It was a really sweet offer. Hopefully we'll find out in a few weeks that this thing is gone, and I can get off my tail and carry my weight around here :) Until then, I am so thankful for all the help I am getting.
I brought home another ultrasound picture yesterday, and instantly Maci said, "Mom, it looks like a jelly bean!" So, we are now calling the baby our jelly bean. How cute is she!! This new baby has two big sisters eager to get their hands on it! Watch out little one!!!

Glad things are going well! However, if you want to get technical...the second trimester doesn't begin until 13.3 weeks! hee hee
Maybe that's true for you, but I haven't had a pregnancy go longer than 38 weeks, so my first trimester will probably end right at 12.6 weeks! Maybe you could have a little chat with Mr. Henry to be a little nicer than Miss Lily was to mommy :) :) :) Love you!
