Expanding (1st Trimester)

Before we get to the photos, I have good news. I'm off of bed rest! Also, the results from the NT scan came back and it is 1 in greater than 10,000 chance that either baby will be affected by Down Syndrome or the trisomies. That is a great result, you cannot get much smaller of a chance from this test.

And now, what you have all been waiting for... .
We have been taking a photo every Thursday evening (the beginning of a new week of the pregnancy) since we found out I'm pregnant so we can be amazed at how large I am getting so quickly. Turns out, Bob has yet to finish the animation of belly shots in a format I can post here. So please enjoy the following photos as you watch me grow by scrolling down.

Before pregnancy (December 2007, right before we started IVF cycle):

Day after embryo transfer (January 18, 2008):

4 weeks (we know I'm pregnant):

5 weeks:

6 weeks:

7 weeks:

8 weeks:

9 weeks (bought maternity pants at this point):

10 weeks:

11 weeks:

12 weeks:

And as of yesterday, I am 14 weeks along, and larger every day. I will post the next set once we get through the second trimester (weeks 13-28). Our goal is to keep these babies inside until I am 38 weeks (September 21 is the ideal due date we are supposed to acheive).

I have an appointment with the OB on Monday morning, so I should have some ultrasound photos to post then.
