Totally shocked this afternoon

This afternoon, while driving home past a soccer field, I was counting how long we had been pregnant. On Tuesday we hit 13 weeks. After trying for 3 years and 1 month of trying to get pregnant to be followed by 13 weeks (so far) of pregnancy is just mind blowing.


But what is even more crazy...we will meet these two miracles in LESS THAN 6 MONTHS!!! I know this time is going to go so fast and they will be here before we know it. I can't wait to meet them. I can't wait to see who they are and who they are going to become. I absolutely can't wait until I get to hold them in my arms and smell the sweet smell of a clean baby.


Now I know there are more things then how good they smell after a bath, and not wanting to put them in their crib just because they are asleep. I know there are going to be dirty diapers...600 or more in the first month. I know there are going to many many many sleepless nights. I know there will be times I want to pull my hair out too. But still, I can't wait.

Here is the picture for 13 weeks.



Our little ones, of course depending on what source you use, are the size of peaches this week. Their fingerprints have now formed. Their bones are starting to form in their arms and legs. The intestines are starting to make their move from the umbilical cord to their tummies. They can also move their arms and legs a little, maybe getting the thumb in the mouth.


We have a 3rd ultra sound on Monday afternoon. I can't wait to see them and see how much they have grown. I will for sure post ultra sound pictures as soon as I can. Here is to another week and getting the final week of the first trimester done and over with.

These months are going to go by quickly. Your babies will be beautiful, sweet and good.
Be prepared for the struggles and you will manage them better. This is something you and Jacob can do together.
