As I’m nearing the end of the first trimester, I am feeling much better. The queasiness disappeared this week and now I’m able to eat well again. Sweet!!! While others do not notice so much, I am starting “to show” as well. This came a little earlier than expected, but I’m delighted by it – evidence of a baby in there. 
I found this image today of a fetal ultrasound at ten weeks gestation – he/she is just hanging from the uterine wall, floating, with nowhere to go and nothing to do but grow! I think it’s rather cute.
Our own ultrasound occurs at the end of the month, which we very much anticipate. In the meantime, Baby Dodds has already received quite a few Christmas gifts this year, despite his/her unborn status. I can only imagine what next year will be like… Many thanks to everyone who has been so generous during this special time.
