Hi everyone! Welcome to the very first post of our new blog. We decided to start it to keep you all up to date with the progress of our little one (working title: Baby David) and our lives in general. I'm 13 weeks pregnant today and everything is going great! No morning sickness (no sickness at all), no weird cravings, just a little tired.
Last week we had our first proper ultrasound (we had the first one at 6 1/2 weeks when the baby looked more like a dot) and it was measuring 6.4cm from crown to rump (translation: head to butt). Baby was VERY active and kept moving so much that the ultrasound technician had problems taking good measurements! It was unreal to see our baby on the screen, looking like a human baby for the first time.
On Saturday my family came over to help me do the first round of baby shopping. Who knew that so many people are happy to pay $1500 for a pram?! So far the only thing we're definitely going to buy is a little bouncey chair so the baby can sit, watch tv and bounce on it whenever he/she wants! Grandma Lucy couldn't help but buy our very first sets of baby clothes. We decided that white and pale yellow could suit both sexes and the little elephant design was just too cute! I also bought my very first pair of maternity jeans - yes, it involves an elastic waist band! But the lady at the shop assured me that I'd be able to wear them after pregnancy.
Thanks for all the messages and calls so far! I look forward to sharing our baby adventures with you all!
13 weeks, 27 to go....
Love,
Viv
