congratulations.
Those ultrasounds are amazing to see, unless you are my DH who can work out a thing on screen lol *fingers crossed* if you haven't had morning sickness by now it will just pass you by.
The About.com site has a pregnancy week by week calendar that is pretty cool.

I don't know if they stillhave it, but they used to have pictures of people's ultrasounds, includingsome twin ones. I practically lived at that site when Giles and Spike werestill gestating.
I threw up once, but that was something I ate!
I DO know what the iky sickies can do to people - I had a colleague who's wife ended up in hospital on a drip because she got so dehydrated through constant sickness. And never forget that back in the bad old days, one of the Bronte sisters died because of this same thing.
I am STILL grateful, nine years on, that I didn't have this trouble. I did end up in hospital for a week with a mild case of pre-eclampsia (sp?), but that was QUITE another thing! And no history if THAT in blood relatives either! Silly thing was that I felt perfectly ok! Just had stars and black spots before my eyes, and slightly raised everything counts!
Kia Ora,
Oh, congratulations. And lucky you, re. the morning sickness.
