I can hear you

This 12-16 week time period has been a little strange. I don't feel pregnant, I don't really look pregnant, I'm just waiting for the next step. I've been told not to wish to be big and showing yet, because I will regret that when I blow up here in the next few months. We had our 3rd doctor's appointment today and everything went well. We heard Mudgekin's good strong heartbeat and the doctor kicked me out, said there was nothing else to do.

On the handy-dandy app that tells you what size your baby is compared to a random fruit or vegetable, it says that Mudgekin is starting to be able to hear us speaking and singing. Scary thought considering I still feel like I'm alone in the car, probably scaring the poor thing. He/She's probably already hoping I'm not the one singing them to sleep every night. Sorry kid!

Our next appointment is February 8, and we will finally get to see our sweet baby again when they do the ultrasound. I'm hoping it looks more like a baby and less like a cheeto this time. We will also get to find out if we are having a baby girl or boy next time we go in. We're not quite sure if we will just find out at the doctor's office, or take the news to go and find out over a Valentine's dinner date the next week. I have a feeling once we get there, I'll be ready to know, but we shall see.

As for names, we have a very small list. So small that we're not even really discussing anything until we find out girl or boy because we are having a hard time deciding on anything. I do not want to focus on it to much until we know what we're having and start planning. I'm ready for the planning to begin.

Below is the 16 week picture, hard to see much, but it's there, as little as it may be:
