Week 13 - The baby moves! but I can't feel her yet

We went to our second doctor visit today and we had a long ultrasound session.  The baby seemed to be sleepy at first, and she was facing us.  We could hear the heart again, a healthy 163.  As you can see in the pictures below, the eyes are well defined and the brain is still developing - still split in two.  You can see the little wiggly line above is the umbilical cord.




But the nurse needed her to roll over and see her profile for some measurements.  Thomas started talking to her telling her to roll over and that woke her up.  She started moving so much!  We saw a big stretch and the hands and feet going everywhere.  It was very neat.  I cannot feel the baby inside me yet, I guess it's too little still.  We got a video and we'll try to upload to youtube.  I will send out the link when we figure it all out.

This weekend I was pretty tired again, maybe it was just the weather, rainy and even with some snow! I think Friday evening I was in bed by 8! and Saturday I did not make it past the first quarter of the UT - Nebraska game (7pm).  During the week it's ok.  Things are going well with my new job though I'm still tied to my old job and basically doing both until they hire someone.  I like being busy though.

And the holiday parties are starting all around us with the first one tonight.  My mom is in Texas now, visiting with Andrew and Ruth and Todd.  We will visit Austin next weekend and celebrate Andrew's birthday #2.
