Today is the day we
found out we are pregnant with our first child!
3/12/08
Our first ultrasound
with the RE! We saw a tiny flickering heartbeat! See the
ultrasound images here.
3/20/08
The doctor wants to see
us again for another ultrasound to check our
progress and get more accurate measurements of the baby.
Everything looks
great!! We saw a strong heartbeat and the baby
has grown so much already!

the updated ultrasound pictures here.

Our last visit with the RE today. We are now officially released
back to the OB/GYN for further prenatal care and ultimately
delivery. The ultrasound today was amazing! We saw the baby
moving around and its arms and legs, and of course the beautiful
heartbeat! Our measurements are right on with our dates, so the
baby is growing perfectly. Check out the
new ultrasound pictures here.

Today I found the baby's heartbeat for the first time with my
home doppler!! I've been trying for a couple of weeks, not
expecting to hear anything this early, but there it was thumping away
like a little freight train. It was registering between 168 and
170bpm, perfect for 10 weeks!

My first visit with my OB/GYN practice, I saw one of the midwives and
had a great appointment. She answered all my questions, spent
lots of time talking with me, and we listened to the baby's heartbeat
with the doppler. My next appointment is a check-up in about a
month.

Everything looks great. My bloodwork results came back and I'm
healthy as a horse. We heard the heartbeat again, it's now around
150bpm, which is normal and healthy. We'll be finding out the sex
in about 3 weeks!
6/3/08 My birthday (The BIG
3-0!!) 17w4d IT'S
A GIRL!
Today was the anatomy scan to measure the baby and make sure everything
looks normal. The ultrasound tech was very nice and took her time
explaining everything we were looking at. She measured the arm
bone, leg bone, and head. Everything measured up great.
Then we looked at the brain, liver, kidneys, heart, bladder, diaphragm,
and stomach. All normal. It was so amazing to see the baby
moving around, the tech even counted all the fingers and toes!
And the best part...we are having a GIRL! She showed us 3
different times that she is all girl, we even got to take home a DVD of
part of the ultrasound. This has to be the best birthday ever!

Everything is looking good. My weight gain is right on
track and blood pressure is normal. Not much else to report,
we're right on track.
