Baby is the size of an onion this week (which explains all my heartburn!). Average size is 5.1 in., 5.9 oz. Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from soft cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.
We took baby to the New Jersey seashore this week. 
We took a vacation to New Jersey and Pennsylvania to visit my (Devon's) relatives. We made a stop at the New Jersey seashore. 
I've missed the ocean! The sand was so soft, and I could listen to the waves for hours. 
We took a tour through Amish country in Lancaster, PA. Do you think we fit in?
... and visited the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia.
My NJ family surprised us with gifts for the baby. Look how sweet! Thank you, Maxwells, Stanleys & Grandma! Baby will love these gifts. 
This week, baby is the size of an avocado. Average size: 4.6 in., 3.5 oz. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. Tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up my voice.
Travis threw me an amazing 30th birthday party. He transformed the entire basement into a little luau - complete with surfboards. Lots of friends, family, great music and yummy food. I had a blast. Thank you, sweetheart, for making my day so special and memorable! My 30th year is going to be an amazing, exciting, life-changing one. Though many people get a bit depressed to leave their twenties behind, God has blessed me with more than I could have imagined, including a sweet husband and a baby on the way. I have so much to be thankful for and I look forward to all this new decade has to bring!
I got lots of great baby items for my birthday, including this Boppy pillow from my sister and a nursing cover from my mom (fondly called the "hooter hider"). I can't wait to use it all!
As Travis mentioned in an earlier post, our new Saturday morning ritual is to get up early and hit the garage sales looking for great deals on baby items. We already have 2 pack-n-plays, a crib, a high chair, toys and this Saturday I bought a whole bin of baby clothes for $10! A few of them are boy clothes, but most can work for either gender. This baby will certainly be well-dressed!
And, since our baby will be born in the December, how cute is this little snuggly snowsuit?!? It is so soft and warm. Awwww. 
For those of you who know me, I'm a nail biter. Shameful I know, but true nonetheless. But now that I'm taking pre-natal vitamins my nails are actually long and strong. I got a mani/pedi the other day and still can't believe they're my own nails!
This week, baby is the size of a naval orange. Average size: 4 in., 2.5 oz. Baby's legs are now longer that the arms and all joints and limbs can move. 
Baby is the size of a lemon this week. Little Bitty is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and making urine. The liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop, and lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.
Baby is the size of a peach this week. Average size: 2.9 in., .81 oz. Baby is forming teeth and vocal cords. Intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby's tummy.
Starting to show ... a little!
Baby is the size of a plum this week. Average size: 2.1 in., .49 oz. Almost all baby's systems are fully formed!
Today was our 12 week appointment and we got to listen to Little Bitty's heartbeat. Aww. The doctor said it sounded strong and healthy.
My waist is slowly disappearing!
Baby is the size of a lime this week. Average size: 1.6 in., .25 oz. Fingers and toes are no longer webbed, and hair follicles, tooth buds and nail beds are forming.
I forgot to take a belly pic this week. Sorry!
Baby is the size of a prune this week. Average size: 1.2 in., .14 oz. Bones and cartilage are starting to form and vital organs are beginning to function. Arm joints are now working. 
Baby is the size of a green olive this week. Average size: .9 in., .07 oz. Embryo has offically graduated to fetus-hood! 
Baby is the size of a Raspberry this week. Average size: .63 in., .04 oz.
This was a big week for baby! We had our first ultrasound and I got to see Little Bitty's hearbeat for the first time. Awwwww.
Baby is the size of a blueberry this week. Average size: .51 in. Baby's brain is growing fast, generating about 100 new cells every minute. Arms and legs are emerging as joints start to form, and a permanent set of kidneys is now in place!
One week into nausea and no bump to be seen ... aside from my normal gut, of course. :)
Baby is the size of a sweet pea this week. Average size: .25 in. Baby is starting to sprout eyes, ears, nose, cheeks and chin. The heart is beating and blood is starting to circulate. 
No bump yet, but the nausea began this week. No fun! And there's no such thing as morning sickness. It's more like all-day sickness.
