12 weeks, 2 days Belly Picture



What's going on inside there at 12 weeks? Baby Bitner's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. He (or she) is about the size of a lime.

I bought my first pair of maternity pants last week. They are so much more comfortable than trying to zip my normal pants and pulling down my belly band constantly.

I've been making some Christmas treats; fudge and magic cookie bars. I'm so happy I finally feel well enough to eat them :) I can't help but think how our future Christmas' will completely revolve around our children. I know when they're babies they won't have a clue, but it will be so much fun when they understand the concept of opening presents. There was a jewelry commercial on tv where the mother is rocking a baby to sleep at 2am and the dad comes in and plugs in the Christmas tree. It's pretty cheesy but every time I see it I start crying. Wow, these hormones are crazy!

Thanksgiving & Week 10

We had a great Thanksgiving, celebrated with my family at my parents house. The food and company were wonderful. After leaving my parents, we headed back to our house to grab a few things and take care of the pets and then set out for James' parents. Had some leftovers for dinner and ended up staying at my in-laws to make it easier to get up early Friday morning for the shopping craziness while James hunted. I got some bargains and had fun hanging out with my mother in-law and James' cousin Colleen. Unfortunately James didn't get anything while hunting. I'm sure they had a good time hangin out and doing "guy stuff". Whatever that is...I assume it has something to do with grunting and scratching. This weekend, I was able to talk James into hanging LED icicle lights on the outside of our house. He also drug out all the Christmas decorations for me and we got a tree. The house looks so good, inside and out!

I'm at week 10. People keep asking if we've picked out names and if we've registered for stuff yet. Is it really time for all that? Seems a little early to me.

The nausea is subsiding. YAY! But the hormones are raging. BOO!

Here's what the baby looks like this week.
