Second Trimester in T-Minus

Tomorrow we will be 12 weeks. On Friday we will be going in for our 12 week scan. I think the better half is excited to see something more then the baby's heartbeat. Don't get me wrong, you couldn't wipe the smile off his face last time when it sunk in that he was going to be a daddy, but this time should be something that we will both remember for the rest of our lives. In 7 weeks, we get to find out what we are having. Dad is still certain we will be having a girl. My belly is slowing starting to get bigger, and I am now finding it extremely difficult to lay on the floor on my belly, so I have simply chosen to give up! We will have a pic of our new bubba to post after this weeks ultrasound. It occured to me just before that we are only 8 weeks away from being half way, that scares me slightly but at the same time makes me even more excited, our baby will be here in no time! I have already started counting down the days until I go on Maternity leave, 171 to be precise. I do believe I felt my first signs of Braxton Hicks today, which brought back horrible memories of actual contractions, but that will all be worth it in the end. Now as my darling partner is harassing me of the link to my blog so he can read it, after calling me a nerd for the last minute for blogging, I think it's time to finally go eat the block of milkybar cookies and cream chocolate I have had sitting there since Saturday, and go to bed!
