March 2009: End of the First Trimester - First Pics of Baby El

From El the Embryo


So here I am showing off my new belly. Although this outfit totally makes me look prego, I could still hide it if I wanted to... but I love already showing it off. This picture was taken at week 14 (end of March), by now I have already gained 10 lbs and my hips have spread so I am more wide than round. A bit different than with Zane...

We have already had two ultrasounds, one at week 9 (routine) and one at week 13 (for genetic testing purposes). All results came back within the normal range, looks like Baby El is off to a good start. Whether it is a girl or boy, Baby El is quite attractive -- in that ultrasound grey pixel image kind of way. =)

Week 9 ultrasound: you can see the beautiful big head, arm and leg buds. 1.65cm long

Week 13 ultrasound: What a difference 4 weeks makes, look at her long legs. 7cm or ~2.75 inches long.
