14w2d - 14 week belly pics

Well, there you have it. 14 weeks, 2 days today and my belly is about the same as last week (I think). The bottom of the bulge is starting to get hard. Poor K - in the middle of making dinner a few days ago I said, "Honey! Come feel my uterus!" He just looked at me like....I'm cookin' here. "No, really, come feel my uterus! It feels so weird!" He was a good sport, came over and felt my hard little lump and then went back to what he was doing.

I got some exciting news today. Two things actually:

1) My mom is going to try and get off work to come down and go to our big u/s with us!! It is hard living far away from my parents, especially now that I am pregnant and want to share everything with them. So I am very happy that (hopefully) my mom will get to come and enjoy the ultrasound with us.

2) The results of my NT scan were negative. This means there are no indications of Downs Syndrome or Trisomy 18 in Bean! This scan was basically to help us decide if we wanted to do any other more invasive testing, such as an amnio. Now that we got good news from the NT scan, and barring any bad news from here on out, we can rule out any elective testing. Yay!

Everything is going really well. I have been feeling tons better lately and am even getting some energy back. K and I got the whole house cleaned up yesterday - that hasn't happened since I found out I was pregnant! It is satisfying to sit in a perfectly clean home.

Now I have to make it through 3 more days of teaching and 1 inservice day before I get a nice 3-day weekend.
