I love technology



Check out Little Baby Holder (LBH)!!! LBH is measuring 12 weeks today and is doing great. He/She has a strong heartbeat that I was able to hear for the first time!! It was so cool, I cried. He/she has little arms and legs and looks like a person, not a weeble wobble anymore. I love the second picture with the legs up in the air. The ultrasound tech was pushing on my stomach today so LBH was flipping around and moving a lot and even flashed his/her butt at us!!! It was soooo cool.

I've decided that the pain in my butt isn't sciatica after all. Apparently I come from a long line of pains in the butts!! No, my mom said that for all 3 of her pregnancies, she too had a pain in her butt. I guess I just come by it naturally.

I've also started having round ligament pain. According to BabyCenter.com, "the round ligaments surround your uterus in your pelvis. As your uterus grows during pregnancy, the ligaments stretch and thicken to accommodate and support it. These changes can occasionally cause pain on one or both sides of your abdomen." Needless to say, getting up and especially sneezing can cause sharp pains in my lower stomach. Eventually they will stretch out and it won't be a problem anymore.

I'm almost 1/3 of the way to LBH's debut!!

Wow Karen, those ultrasounds are so cool! I too love the leg picture!

Re checst pain, Motherhood sells some bras they call sleeping bras. I heard they are quite comfortable. Marshalls or TJ Mazz can also be good for interim needs...
