10 Weeks

Wow...I can't believe it's been over a month since my first post. I have had the thought a few times to post an update, but honestly have been too tired to care. But I am feeling more and more excited! Yesterday was my first OB appointment and I feel like it gave me a little burst of energy - because I am SO excited.

The doctor thought I might be a week behind because of my ovulation date, so she wasn't sure if we would be able to hear the heartbeat. We listened for it anyway, and it was the tiniest, most precious sound :) I didn't think I would feel emotional about it, but it definitely made things feel more real and I am amazed that there is a tiny person in there. Not only that, but it is half me and half Peter? This is nuts!

Here is Baby's heartbeat, at 167 beats per minute. I could see the teeny little flash where the heart was beating.

And here is Baby Beckerman! Measuring at just about 10 weeks like we originally thought.

Sooooo cool! It was actually a lot clearer in person and I could see the full outline and shape of the legs and feet - amazing. While sitting there watching Baby decided to put on a show. He/she started kicking both legs out at the same time - HILARIOUS, I loved it. I am totally leaning towards BOY now and these pics could be of a little tiny Cohen! Otherwise, I think we might have a crazy girl on our hands.

Here are a few pics from the last few weeks:

I went to Maine to visit with Loo :)

At this point, I was 5 weeks and baby was about the size of a sesame seed

We celebrated our third anniversary on 9/13 :)

And bought this while waiting for our table (PLB is a huge Snoopy fan):

At 7 weeks, Baby Becks was the size of a blueberry:

Here I am at 8 weeks, pretty much not showing :)

And again, at 10 weeks, totally bloated, but still not looking much different. This pic was taken at Mike and Lisa's, just before dinner, and by this time I was totally exhausted.

So that's about it. Everything seems to be going well. I have been feeling tired and totally nauseous, but happy to have only puked once so far! Overall, I am super excited and can't wait to meet this little babe. Only 30 weeks to go!
