Second trimester - WE MADE IT!!!

Well, the picture to the left is of me (duh) at 12 weeks :D As you can tell... I think I am showing ;) I had 4 people come up to me on Sunday and ask if I was pregnant. Actually, one looked at my belly and said, "Any news?"... it did not cross my mind at the time, but he already knew because Dan ran into him on Trax and told him because his wife had just recently had a baby. Dan finally called his mother and told her, although I think she might have figured it out on Saturday when we go over there for Pie night. I am officially 13 weeks today and therefore in my second trimester :D My doctor had wanted me to stay on my Progesterone until 14 weeks, but I run out of it as of tomorrow night. Dr. Lash said that the placenta should take over the making of progesterone as of 12 weeks, so I should be in the clear! My placenta is doing well... lol... odd thing to say, but when we listened to the baby's heartbeat last week we could barely hear the baby's heartbeat over the blood flow to the placenta. I just got back from Carol's office, where she did our weekly ultrasound. It is still amazing to us to see how much the baby grows each week. This week the baby is about the size of a peach... about three inches. Our baby looked like a little monster. The baby was sitting with it's legs open this week, but we could not tell if there was a penis or a foot... guess we will just have to keep waiting to find out! Dan has decided (as of last week) that he wants a girl. Which is funny because the last 2 pregnancies he REALLY wanted a boy. I think that part of me still wants a girl, but I KNOW I will be excited either way! However, we already know that choosing a girl's name will be a lot easy for us than a boy's name. We cannot seem to agree on a name if it is a boy. However, if it is a girl we already know the middle name (Lily) and we are trying to decide between 5 first names, but regardless of her first name, we will call her Lily. OK, that is all the news that I have for now :D Send us suggestions for a boy's name... because the only name we can agree on is Stephen Thomas Weber. I will post pictures of the baby later on tonight!
