Baby Crawford

Guess who's having a baby?

We are so excited to be pregnant and anticipating the arrival of our little one. Who knew you could be so excited at almost 12 weeks? Our little one is due April 2, 2010. Seems like so far away, yet the weeks are passing so quickly. We have several friends who are pregnant as well and due all within a month of each other so our little one will hopefully have a lot of friends.



I had my monthly appointment today with Dr. LeMon. If the time it took for the nurse to find the heartbeat is any indication of future behavior, we might be in trouble. It seems our little bundle of joy didn't want to be found today. I was able to finally hear the heartbeat, but boy, is that a scary thought when they are pushing on your belly for so long and cannot find the sound. My quick little pray was answered and I finally heard the little wooshing sound! What a wonderful sound to a mothers ears.



This week our little one is about the size of a fig. We have taken to calling the baby each week by the fruit or item that is similar in size. Last week we were a kumkwat, this week a fig. Kumkwat has been my favorite name so far. Didn't really care for kidney bean--not a very cute description, but maybe they used that one because it is during the time when you don't feel so hot. Wonder what we will be next week?



Here is a picture of figs to show the approximate size of our little guy/girl. By the way--figs don't taste very good. We tried them last week in Napa. Strange. We also saw kumkwats!
