11 Weeks & 1st Ob-Gyn Appointment

Only two more weeks in the first trimester!  I'm so excited.  The baby is now just over 1 1/2 inches, which is crazy considering it was the size of a sesame seed a month or two ago.  I can't feel the baby's acrobatics yet, but we have an active little guy or girl in there.  We got to see it on the ultrasound again yesterday and it was just wiggling and moving all over the place.  This time I got to have the external ultrasound, which I found really exciting for some reason.  It just seems so much cooler to be able to see it from the outside!

We've scheduled the ultrasound to find out the gender.  I know a lot of people like to be surprised, but I just want to KNOW!!!  We'll find out on March 5th, only 5 short weeks away.  I can't wait!  I'm really excited about the date of the scan as well.  My birthday's on March 9th, so it will be like an early birthday present.  I can't decide if I'm hoping for a boy or girl.  When I was younger, I always wanted a girl first since I was the oldest and a girl.  I still like that idea in a lot of ways, but then I think about having a little boy and that seems so amazing too.  It would be really neat to have an older brother.  Either way, I think that Kevin & I will both be thrilled!  We're just so excited to finally be starting our family :)
