Here it is... the first of many (hopefully)

Well, I guess our journey has been going on for a while now. Today officially marks week 14 of our little 'Turtle.' That means Turtle is the size of a lemon. I've started feeling much better than the 1st trimester, thank goodness.
My bump has started to show. I, at least, think it is super obvious but my mom says not really. Scott just thinks it's super cute and loves my clothes that show off the bump. It's nice to hear him finding me attractive still as I feel only like I'm expanding and becoming less attractive.
At our appointment last week, we got to see the baby and the heartbeat. It actually looked like a baby with little arms and legs and feet! It was a bit squirmy... definitely a Schneider baby... we just can't seem to sit still! The doctor said the spine looked great, developing well and all the fluids looked good too (I must admit, that sounded good but I don't really know what that means).
As far as food... my appetite is starting to come back. I've found that my only real craving is mac and cheese, particularly my mom's homemade mac. She makes it for me a lot so that's nice. Some veggies still seem totally unappealing: asparagus and broccoli. Fruit is definitely delicious... strawberries, cherries, melon, and bananas top the list.
I'm convinced that Jack is well aware of the baby. He follows me around even more than normal, sleeps with me, and is already super protective. Scott and I have talked to him about being a big brother, I think he is excited!
For those of you far away who are interested in following the growing belly and baby development, look for pics to be posted and more updates. We're a bit late in starting the belly photos, but we're excited to start.
14 Weeks Pregnant!
