Growing pains

Well tomorrow will be 12 weeks. It seems , hopefully, that we are out of the woods and you will be joining our family in May. I have to say you have been making your Mom rather moody. this past Sunday night I cried and cried and I am no sure why. Monday felt pretty bad too. Tues, Wed, Thurs were better. By Friday, I was just ready for the weekend. I haven't been quite as sleepy, but I still don't have tons of energy. I have been having some dull aches in my abdomen. People tell me that is from my ligaments stretching to make sure you have room to grow. I'm ready for you to grow. My clothes don't fit so well, but maternity clothes look silly on me :)

Heartbeat

We went to the doctor's office today and heard your heartbeat for the first time. The doctor kind of looked at us expectantly and all I could say was, "That's the heartbeat?" You sounded like a helicopter. Everyone asked me afterwards if I cried. Well I didn't. I think it was so fast and not what I was expecting. It wasn't until later that it dawned on me that I just heard my baby's heart beating. Then I felt ripped off and wanted to go hear it again. Oh well.

RSS Feeds

If you use a RSS capable web browser such as Firefox or Safari or if you use a news reader, you can subscribe to the RSS feed in the bottom right of this page. RSS means really Simple Syndication. It will put a tab at the top of your browser and it will notify you when a new post or comment is made on the blog. That way you don't have to just randomly come by and see if anything is new. If you click the tab it will list the new posts and you can click and go directly to them. Its a pretty convenient way to keep up with it, but it doesn't work with Internet Explorer. If you are still using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox you should email me anyway so I can fuss at you :)

Hello world!

Welcome to Lil' Bits Blog. I'm starting this blog to create a way for us to share our thoughts and information about Lil' Bits impending crash of the party. We're so excited and it gets a little crazier every day. You can post and comment anything you like to me, Jenna, or Lil' Bit. We're going to use this as a vehicle to inform everyone of the pregnancy's progress and any updates along the way. We'll also post links to his/her heartbeat, ultrasound, etc. so everyone can participate in our cheesy grins. Check back often and post as much as you like. We love you.
