Week 4: Mom took a pregnancy test and found out she was pregnant!
Week 5: Mom and Dad called their parents to tell them we were having a baby. They were very excited.
Week 6: Mom and Dad went to the Doctor and had our first ultrasound. You looked like a bean. you didin't have any arms or legs at this point. Your nose, mouth and ears were starting to take shape. You were about 1/4 of an inch long.
Week 7: Mom and Dad went to Spokane Washington for a family reunion with your Grandpa Keate's family. Mom started having morning sickness towards the end of the vacation. you are now 1/2 an inch long and your arms and legs are starting to develop.
Week 8: Mom and Dad went back to the Doctor for another ultrasound so that we could hear your heartbeat. It was beating over 14o times per minute. It was really neat to listen to. We contacted Dad's brothers to let them know you were coming. You looked like a bean that had sprouted with paddles for arms and legs.
Week 9: Mom is still having morning sickness. Your heart has finished dividing into it's four chambers. Most of your organs are all there, but need to keep growing. Your eyes and eyelids are formed but your eyelids won't open for another 18 weeks. Sometimes Daddy will put his mouth on Mommy's belly and sing to your or say, "Hello Little Baby!"
Week 10: You've started moving around and can move your arms and legs. Because you are so small we still can't feel you move yet. Your findgers and toes have formed and your fingernails are starting to appear. Daddy is gegtting more excited and talks to you often.
Week 11: You are about 1 1/2 inches long now. Your hands will soon open and close into tiny fists. Some of your bones are hardening and little teeth are starting to form. Mom is still sick but only about every other day now. Mom is starting to get a baby bump.
Week 12: Mom and Dad went to the Doctor for another ultrasound to make sure everything was going well. You look big, but you still have a lot of growing to do. It was cute, during the ultrasound you had the hiccups and we jumping around a lot. We are looking forward to meeting you soon! In a few weeks we will find out if you are a boy or a girl!
