You can see the baby's right hand, and the thing sitting out of the tummy is the umbilical cord. We should find out the baby's gender in mid-November.Last week, we got to hear the heartbeat, which was really fast and strong, 162 beats a minute, and then had an ultrasound to determine the due date, April 12th.
I'm really thankful that we've made it this far without any problems. Other than some fatigue, I'm feeling fine, and apparently, the next trimester will be even better. I really have gotten off easy so far. My doctor said that my fitness and exercise would probably help, since my blood sugar stays pretty steady, I shouldn't have too much nausea, which I haven't. I've kept running, and I'm going to try to do the 1/2 marathon in December. I have no idea if that will be possible, but the doctor said it would be fine. In my opinion, healthy mom, healthy baby...so I'll try. :-)
Anyway, we're really blessed and happy and can't wait to meet our little person. It's so long to wait!

CONGRATULATIONS! Have you thought of any names yet? Casey promised me a long time ago that he would name his first child after me, but I'll settle for a middle name of Nodnarb.
So fun that the news is out! Everyone told me that a fast heartbeat meant that is was a girl, sure enough it was.:)
Congratulations! We are soooo excited for you guys! I'm glad you haven't had much nausea. I didn't either. And it's good that you won't have to go through a summer pregnancy. Enjoy your pregnancy - it's well worth the wait! ;)
I heard that a fast heartbeat was a BOY and I had a boy. This heartbeat trick is not a reliable gender determinator....
