..........................................................................................................................................................New Baby! Yay we are finally sharing our good news. I am expecting and the baby looks really good. We found out in April and my first Dr appt. was on May 5th. We did an ultrasound and I was 7 and a half weeks and we could see the baby's heart beating. We have waited to tell everyone until after my second visit which I had yesterday just so we could get past the danger zone for miscarriage. So here is how my visit yesterday went: first they took 5 vials of blood. Geez, I was pretty dizzy and tired the whole rest of the afternoon! Then we tried to listen to the baby's heartbeat with the Doppler device and the doctor couldn't find it. So of course at this point I am so nervous and praying as hard as I can that everything is all right. So we had to do another ultrasound and guess what? The baby is just fine, the placenta was blocking us from hearing the heartbeat but I got to watch the baby squirm and wiggle which was so fun. So we are due on December 17th and we are so excited (except for Bryn who when I tell her that I have a baby in my tummy says 'no' every time - hopefully she will get used to the idea!). Here are the pictures: the first one is when I was 7 weeks and the next one is from yesterday and I am 11 and half weeks now.
