Beanies first pictures!

I went to have a dating ultrasound done on Thursday, however, Beanie is still to little to get a crown to rump measurement on. But as she looked around, we were able to see the yolk sac and a tiny "smudge" that is Beanie... we also saw Beanies little heart beating away at 102 beats per minute! The ultrasound tech said this is the earliest she's ever seen a heart beating on such a little bean, she was amazed, so was I!

She printed a couple of pics for Beanies baby book (when I pick one up) so of course I scanned them in for the blog too. :) I put a heart around the important parts. The top picture is the yolk sac, the second picture is the baby. I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am right now. I can't wait to meet this little bean, but it will be so worth the wait.

Updated graphic stuffs...

With the uncertainty over my due date etc... I made a new positive pregnancy test collage for posting wherever. Thought I'd share it here since this will someday be a site/record for Beanie <3

Mommy's Beanie Belly

It's like I am just popping out all of a sudden. I am going to need maternity clothes sooner than I thought I would.

I know I'm not exactly skinny.. but that is a definite "bump".

The baby

It's so generic, right? That's what Emma thought, so she wanted to give the baby a nickname, something that is also special to her. Well, since we call her Emma-bean among other nicknames, she thought we'd call the baby beanie, or beanie baby. I agree, it's cute and I love that she wanted to have a special way to refer to her new sibling.

So, if you see mention of beanie or beanie baby here, that's who we mean. :)

Oh also, Emma would like me to tell you that Beanie attended their first parade today! Beanie and I went to watch Emma march in the annual Anoka Halloween Parade in her pirate costume, parrot and all. We had a lot of fun and Emma did a great job.
