10 weeks!

If anyone is counting...yes this is early for my 10 weeks post. I had my ultrasound today and i was a week further than originally thought! I feel like I am getting a freebie or something, I am just that much closer to that 2nd trimester!!!! I am so excited!
Not much to update since I just posted a few days ago, I am still eating pickles with orange juice, my hips are coming unhinged, and my hair is still a WRECK!
What is new is the fact that I have seen my little one! During the ultrasound they found the baby first and it was facing the screen kicking it's little arms and legs! It look like it was treading water and it had the biggest eyes ever!!!! I was amazed! The technician decided to go ahead and measue my ovaries and cervix and we lost sight of the baby. When it came time to take the still shots of our little pumpkin we found it on it's back facing up on the screen. It had the sweetest profile ever. I could make out forehead, nose, and chin. It quickly flipped to it's stomach and tucked it's little arms and legs under itself. It looked like it was doing an earthquake drill!!!! After much poking and prodding, I got 4 terrible shots! Just a curled up blob, no cute profile, no waving arms and legs, no big round eyes....just a blob. After my pictures were printed it resumed it's swimming routine as if it hid from the probe on purpose. Being the scrapbooker I am, I am disappointed that this little darling is apparently camera shy :)
The heartbeat was 167! Iwas very excited about that. Things just keep getting better!!!!

I will post my weekly picture and my scans of THE BLOB when i get my scanner hooked up, hopefully tomorrow. I love technical difficulties!
