Itty Bitty Update: Second Trimester!

I just wanted to give a quick update on Little Itty Bitty. We got to see this sweet little bundle at 11 weeks on ultrasound because she was hiding at first when they tried to check for her heartrate. She wiggled and kicked the entire time. The girls were so excited to see her on the ultrasound and it really was the clearest ultrasound we have had with any of the girls. Bethany will see the pictures still and say "See Bitty" or "Bitty jumps"

          We were able to find out a little earlier with Bitty if he or she is coming this time. Right at 14 weeks, we found out that Little Itty Bitty will be a beautiful ballerina too! All the girls are excited for a little Little Sister. We are already hearing discussions between them about who gets to be "Bitty's Buddy." Bethany says "Bitty Best Friend" and Rachel says since she is the firstborn she will be Bitty's Buddy. Then Bekah chimes in too. Soon we had to remind them that everyone gets to be Bitty's Buddy!!
          With the second trimester, we have finally gotten the Bitty Baby bump too! The nausea is still bad unfortunately and the motion sickness too, but we continue to hope those will get better each week. I have still been doing IV fluids up through 14 weeks. This picture was last week at 14 weeks. I will reach 16 weeks next week and will be halfway there at 20 weeks in just 4 more weeks after that!
We are so thankful to reach the second trimester and continue to pray this little Itty Bitty lady will grow healthy and strong!

Second Trimester: 14 weeks!

For You formed my inward parts;You wove me in my mother’s womb.
 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them

Psalm 139:13-16
