Getting Bigger
The Hennessey bean is now 12 weeks, weighs half an ounce and is about the size of a lime. We had our second ultrasound screening on Friday and had a somewhat more cooperative baby that allowed the technician to get the measurements she was looking for. We also got some 3D ultrasound pictures which were pretty cool. You can see the little umbilical cord going over the baby's shoulder. Luckily I'm feeling fine, just a little tired every so often, but glad to be welcoming the 2nd trimester in another week, and reaaally looking forward to warmer weather and looser clothes!

The end of winter... hopefully
Although New York hasn't seen much snow at all this winter, it finally decided to get cold, really cold, dipping to 11 degrees and below with the windchill... bbrrrr! Doggies don't want to go out in that weather, and either do their owners. Still it was colder in Rochester where we spent the weekend visiting friends, Roshni and her husband Joel who are expecting in early May, and Katherine who we managed to pull out of her chemistry lab and joined us in the artic circle from DC. It was great to see them and to see Roshni's house, not to mention her belly and some of the maternity clothes I'll be inheriting in the near future. I'm 12 weeks and counting and the waist band is getting tight!
Brian's mom is in town for the Westminster Dog show and getting her daily updates on Samantha, who has gone into heat and is flying down to Florida later this week to meet her champion boyfriend and hopefully breed some more champion puppies. It's a busy year for babies, human and canine, in the Hennessey clan.
I go back to the hospital for round two of an ultrasound as part of my first trimester genetic screening. The bean was punching and kicking up a storm last week when we went, but did not want to turn over to let the technician measure the thickness of it's neck, which tells you the likelihood of having several genetic diseases. Oh darn,.... have to go back for another look at the bean on Friday. It is fun to see it.
Happy Valentine's Day all!
